Roundtables
About
ICEGOV 2025 will feature a number of Roundtable Sessions. These sessions focus on the public sector and society, as well as contemporary concerns in IT, technology, modernisation reforms, and digital transformation. They are organised and run by governments, or international organisations or both together, offering a rare chance for these practitioners to offer a global perspective. Additionally, roundtable discussions foster insightful conversations and networking while providing a chance to learn about Digital Governance solutions that have been implemented or are being considered for implementation in the public sector. Roundtables provide a view into the most recent technological solutions and approaches in the public sector.
Important dates
Each Roundtable proposal must be submitted using the form available below until 30 May 2025. Submissions past this deadline will not be accepted and no other means of submission are available.

Selection criteria
All proposals will undergo a formal review process by the Roundtable Sessions Coordinator, who will, in turn, suggest a list of candidate roundtables to the Programme Committee Chairs for validation. The specific selection criteria for evaluating each proposal are based on: relevance, timeliness, novelty, and content. When selecting the proposals, priority will be given to roundtables that address exciting topics in creative formats likely to generate lively interactions and attract multiple types of participants. For a successful proposal, the following questions should be taken into consideration:
- Why is the topic or topics relevant to the conference?
- Why is the topic or topics novel and important?
- Who is the expected audience, and what is the strategy foreseen (if any) to attract participants for the workshop?
- How is the workshop covering original topics not necessarily covered by other conference sessions?
