TechForGov Joins Pennsylvania's Top Government Technology Leaders at Government Innovation Pennsylvania
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; May 5th, 2026 – TechForGov sponsored and participated in Government Innovation Pennsylvania, held at the Hilton Harrisburg in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Himanshu Goil, CEO, and Amanda Coe, Head of Growth & Strategy, joined senior Commonwealth and county technology leaders – with Himanshu serving as a keynote panelist for the session titled “How Pennsylvania is Using AI to Power Smarter, Faster Government.”
Positioned as one of Pennsylvania’s premier public sector technology gatherings, the event brought together state agency leadership, county commissioners, municipal administrators, and public sector IT professionals to address the governance, risk management, and operational frameworks needed to accelerate responsible AI adoption across the Commonwealth
Sharing the Stage with Pennsylvania’s Digital Leaders
Moderated by Chris Devlin of the Public Sector Network and SAP, Himanshu Goil joined fellow panelists Amanda Martin, AI Committee Co-Chair at the PA Human Relations Commission; Keith Hartung, Director of Cybersecurity and Chief AI Officer at the Pennsylvania State Treasury Department; Mark Wheeler, Chief Information Officer of Montgomery County; and Tim Smith, Chief Information Officer of Berks County.
Together the panel addressed how Pennsylvania is actively moving AI from individual tools to standardized, repeatable government workflows — grounded in real operational use cases, responsible governance, and cross-agency collaboration.
Building the Case for Standardized, Trustworthy AI in Government
The keynote panel addressed a challenge that every Pennsylvania municipality faces: how to move AI from isolated pilots to workflows that any government team can adopt, sustain, and trust. A central theme of TechForGov’s contribution to the discussion was the concept of “Boring AI” — reliable, predictable AI that works consistently for municipal teams every day, building public trust through performance rather than promises.
Meanwhile, Amanda Coe engaged directly with state and county technology leaders — exploring how IGNA®, TechForGov’s AI platform built specifically for the public sector, can address real municipal pain points including permit management, citizen engagement, and compliance workflows without adding complexity to already lean government departments.
“It was an honor to share the stage with Pennsylvania’s digital leaders,” said Himanshu Goil, CEO of TechForGov. “At TechForGov, we believe that ‘Boring AI’ — the kind that works reliably and predictably — is the foundation for public trust. To scale effectively, we must move beyond pilots and build standardized, ethical workflows that support municipal teams every day.”
