Advancing Innovation by Bridging the Public and Private Sectors
We are the leading media, research, and events company serving state and local government and education (often referred to as the SLED market). Our work brings together public-sector leaders and the private sector through indispensable reporting, thought leadership, research, and curated in-person events across the country that public sector leaders rely on to inform decisions and support meaningful progress.
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 reporting, data, and millions of engagements, our work reflects deep, real-world understanding of the issues shaping public service and education today.
Our History
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 Vision and Mission
Our mission is to serve as the trusted source for guidance, innovation, and meaningful connections, empowering state and local government and education to reach their fullest potential.
Guided by our leadership team, we fulfill this mission by delivering 100+ events across the country each year that bring the public and private sectors together, multiple leadership councils that provide ongoing dialogue, and growing collections of expert thought leadership and research that foster understanding, dialogue, and collaboration 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.

Built on a Foundation of Trust
Trust is foundational to everything we do. Our non-partisan reporting, research, and events 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.
