The document summarizes the 10-year history of the Samos Summit on ICT-Enabled Governance, held annually on the Greek island of Samos. It began in 2010 with a workshop organized by 5 people exploring topics like model-driven governance. Over the years it has grown to include 300 speakers and 500 participants discussing emerging issues in digital governance like open data, social media, crowdsourcing, and blockchain. The 2020 summit, held online due to COVID-19, features sessions on the future of digital public services, disruptive technologies, digital governance science, and legal informatics systems.
