Webinar | Digital Signatures

18 Nov 2026
Register by November 17

As organizations transition from paper to electronic filing, file authentication becomes a key challenge. During this session, you will discover diverse types of digital signatures and how to sign distinct types of documents as a person, a professional, a department, or an organization.

APEGA Digital Signatures is powered by Portage CyberTech.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • explain the distinct types of signatures, from paper to electronic and digital signatures
  • demonstrate what a digitally signed PDF looks like
  • review APEGA digital signatures and the productivity software suite available to members
  • review the return on investment and workflow of digital transformation within a corporate environment
  • validate and accept digitally signed documents
  • identify a modified PDF
  • sign data files digitally, like BIM, Excel spreadsheets, and email

You will also see how an energy agency saved more than $1 million per year after completing its digital transformation and learn how a transportation agency undertook the digital transformation process.
