ENGAGE 2026: CentralSquare’s Annual Public Sector Conference

Mark it on your calendars. ENGAGE 2026 is coming to Washington, DC from March 15–18th. Before we know it, public sector pros will be swarming the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center for another unforgettable conference.

Next year’s event will build on ENGAGE 2025, which consisted of three days of learning, networking, product training, and fun. The excitement and energy in Orlando set a high bar, and we’re ready to raise it even higher.

The 2026 conference will deliver even more opportunities to connect with peers, learn from product experts, and explore the latest innovations in public safety and public administration.

More than a user conference, ENGAGE is our way of celebrating customers while creating space to learn, engage, and grow. Keep reading to see how we’re making ENGAGE 2026 bigger and better than ever.

Building on Momentum

ENGAGE 2025 Recap

The 2025 conference showed us the power of community. 1,600 attendees came together for 200+ sessions, hands-on product training, inspiring keynotes, customer celebrations and much more. Themes like AI technology and cloud modernization took center stage, impacting how agencies operate every day.

We even set aside time to celebrate cloud early adopters – customers who paved the way to the cloud and reaped the benefits. To encourage others to follow in their footsteps, we also announced several key cloud initiatives:

• Cloud upgrades in as little as 10 days
• Implementation services under $10,000
• $0 service options
• New products and 50% faster projects
• Up to 70% less services

ENGAGE 2026: Looking Ahead

Innovative GovTech solutions continue to transform how the public sector operates. With many agencies facing staffing shortages, operational efficiency has never been more critical. Modern software is helping leaders accomplish more with fewer resources, while still strengthening service delivery and outcomes.

That’s why ENGAGE 2026 can’t come fast enough. Next year, we’ll explore the future of GovTech together, building on the conversations from 2025 and showcasing real-world impacts. Expect to learn how government technology can streamline processes, optimize operations and enhance collaboration across the public sector.

“By attending the ENGAGE conference, our agency gains valuable insights into cutting-edge technology and future roadmaps, which gives us hope for the future.”

Community: The Heart of ENGAGE

At ENGAGE, community is at the heart of everything. It’s not the keynotes, breakout sessions, or special guests that make the conference unique – it’s the people. Each year, ENGAGE brings together professionals from across the country who share a common goal: improving public service. More than just networking, it’s a place to build lasting partnerships that inspire creativity and drive solutions forward.

At ENGAGE 2026, you’ll have opportunities to connect with exhibitors showcasing innovative tools designed to support agency operations. You’ll also benefit from peer-to-peer meetups, on-site customer support, and face-to-face collaboration with peers who understand your challenges.

And while community and innovation are central, ENGAGE is also about fun. After the success of 2025’s Retro Rewind Party, we’re planning an even bigger celebration in 2026. You won’t want to miss it.

“My favorite part of attending ENGAGE is meeting people in person from CentralSquare and others from around the country who use ONESolution. We can collaborate and compare notes to figure out what works best for us versus what works for them.”
