Why we are at SCCON

Digital government must work for a wide variety of people—while also aligning with government processes, technologies, and structures.

That’s why we’re highlighting four topics at the Smart Country Convention: accessibility, AI-based interfaces, user-centered digital services, and the path from strategy to technical infrastructure. We’ll be sharing concrete examples, prototypes, and real-world experiences.

Four panel discussions, different perspectives: At the Smart Country Convention 2026, we’ll be discussing AI, accessibility, user-centered services, and sustainable digital infrastructure.

Four talks. Four perspectives on the digital government.

From new AI interfaces to accessibility and user-centered services to information architecture: Our talks address four questions that are of immediate concern to digital government today.

Jens Krumm · Tuesday

Questions Instead of Clicks

And What That Means for Government

What happens when people no longer have to search through government websites, but can simply say what they want to do? A look at AI-based interfaces, dialogue, and the future of navigation.

Jens Krumm · Wednesday

“We did the BITV test, after all.”

Passing a test is important—but it’s no guarantee that a digital service will be easy to use in everyday life.

Sebastian Lulay · Tuesday

A Digital Government with a Stance

Needs, Values, Sovereignty

What do people really need from digital government services? This talk shows how needs and values translate into concrete decisions regarding digital services.

Sebastian Lulay · Wednesday

From Strategy to Structure

How do personas, needs, and strategic decisions translate into concrete content and a sustainable information architecture?

Four Questions for the Digital State

Behind these four talks lie questions that go far beyond individual technologies. They concern the way in which digital government services are planned, designed, and further developed.

01

What happens when people stop clicking and start asking questions?

AI is changing how people search for information and use digital services.

02

Does “accessible” really mean “easy to use”?

Standards and testing are important. What really matters is whether a product or service actually works in everyday life.

03

What do people need from digital government services?

Needs, context, and values should be the starting point for digital services.

04

How does a strategy become a sustainable digital structure?

Personas and needs must be reflected in content, user journeys, and information architecture.
