Join us for the upcoming GovTogether in Northern California
Professional development for community development teams navigating the day-to-day realities of plan review and the shift to digital tools as they modernize operations.
What to Expect
The forum brings peers together for candid conversations about the challenges teams face today—from review volume and cross-department coordination to staffing constraints and rising expectations. You’ll hear how agencies at different stages are responding, with perspectives from Avolve customers across California and industry technology leaders.
The focus is on what’s working, what’s proving difficult, and how teams are approaching innovation in practical, achievable ways.
Time is set aside intentionally for networking, giving you the opportunity to connect with peers, exchange perspectives, and continue the conversation beyond the session.
