On September 29-30, 2022, the XXVIII ICT Forum was held under the theme "State Information System - Directions of Development". It is the oldest (organized since 1995) and currently the largest IT industry conference for the public sector.

The Program Council of this year's Forum decided to award the Central Statistical Office with the "Golden e-Shield" prize. The CSO was awarded for the second year in a row. This is a distinction awarded to entities that have implemented IT projects that have effectively reduced the negative effects of pandemics and at the same time reinforced the importance of IT investments for increasing the resilience of information processes, which are the basis for the effective functioning of the state.
