Over 40 Years at the Forefront of Public-Sector Innovation

As the leading events, content, and intelligence company serving state and local government and education, we connect public-sector leaders with the ideas, insights, and relationships they need to navigate complex challenges and improve the institutions they serve.

Founded in 1984, we are one of the nation’s leading companies in this growing market, which sees over $4.2 trillion in annual spending. Among the earliest to recognize the growing role of technology in public service and education, we’ve spent decades helping leaders navigate change with credible insight and real-world perspective. Built on decades of expertise, data, and millions of engagements, our work reflects deep, real-world understanding of the issues shaping public service and education today.

e.Republic's history reflects the evolution of state and local government and education—shaped by decades of change in technology, policy, and public expectations.

Over the past four decades, we’ve grown alongside the communities we serve, adapting as priorities and challenges have shifted while remaining focused on delivering trusted insight and meaningful connection.

The milestones on the above timeline highlight key moments in our evolution and the growing role we’ve played in informing, convening, and connecting the public-sector community over time.

Our mission is to empower government and education. Our vision is to be the trusted source for guidance, ideas, innovations, and relationships to build government and education that works for everyone.

Guided by our leadership team, we fulfill our mission by delivering 100+ in-person events across the country that bring the public and private sectors together, as well as communities that foster ongoing dialogue. We also provide thought leadership and research that drive understanding, collaboration, and meaningful connections among public-sector leaders in state and local government and education and the organizations that support them.

Looking ahead, we envision a public sector where better insight leads to better decisions—and better outcomes for the communities public institutions serve. Our work is guided by a long-term commitment to informed leadership, thoughtful innovation, and meaningful engagement.

Trust is foundational to everything we do. Our events and content are shaped by independence, rigor, and deep engagement with the public sector. We focus on accuracy, context, and real-world relevance—because the decisions our audiences make have a far-reaching impact.

Additionally, millions of engagements with public-sector leaders bolster our work with a depth of understanding and credibility that can only come from sustained focus and long-term relationships.

That trust allows us to convene meaningful conversations with sought-after leaders, surface emerging issues, and deliver insights that decision-makers rely on.
