Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Digital Government Summit 2026 took place on October 15, 2026.

It was listed at Hilton Garden Inn Grand Prairie at EpicCentral, 2935 S State Highway 161, Grand Prairie, TX.

The published audience was technology leaders from North Texas cities, counties, school districts and higher education.

The host was Dallas CIO Jeffrey Stovall and the named speakers included Keshnel Penny, who is CIO of Grand Prairie, so the talks came from peers facing the same budgets and constraints. Vendors seeking a national buyer pool and public employees based outside Texas would have gotten less from a one-day regional meeting, and the keynote centred on speaking skills rather than a technical topic.

Government technology events in Texas usually call for business casual, with slacks and a collared shirt or blouse, and a blazer for speakers and vendors.
