OpenText World 2026: What’s in it for the public sector industry?

Public sector organizations are faced with accelerating AI adoption, strengthening cybersecurity, modernizing citizen services, and managing growing volumes of information. But how can they achieve these goals while balancing innovation with trust, governance, and accountability?

OpenText World 2026 in Orlando, October 19–22, is the place to find answers to these challenges and more. The event’s public sector focus—including speaker sessions, breakouts, advisory boards, and forums—offers insight and advice about what’s on your mind today and what to think about for tomorrow.

Keith Nelson, OpenText Global Public Sector Senior Industry Strategist, talks about what’s in store at OpenText 2026.

New to this year’s conference is the Industry Advisory Board for public sector. This focused gathering brings together senior government and education leaders to discuss trends, challenges, and innovation opportunities. Participation is open to interested attendees and subject to approval to ensure a curated peer-to-peer experience. Find more information here.
