Utah Data Governance Summit

Privacy. Transparency. Use.
Transforming Public Service Through Trusted Data

In today’s digital government, data governance and privacy are no longer back-office functions — they are foundational to public trust, operational efficiency, and ethical service delivery. The Data Governance Summit brings together leaders from every level of government to align around a shared vision— protecting the privacy of Utahns while making data work better for them.

Over a lifetime, individuals interact with nearly every category of government — health, education, public safety, transportation, and more. When data is well-governed, those interactions are secure, seamless, and centered on the individual, not the system.

This summit invites agencies to:

• Build privacy and governance practices that scale across programs,
• Break down silos and align data around the people we serve,
• And design public services rooted in transparency, accountability, and trust.

Together, we’re not just solving technical challenges — we’re shaping the future of responsible government. Data Governance is Built Here.
