About The Program
The 2024 Fall Government IT Congress is an intimate take on your traditional conference environment, allowing for 45 – 50 C-suite & executive level leaders from state and local government organizations across the country to come together for an opportunity to collaborate, share best practices, network amongst each other and be introduced to potential solutions based on their current/future projects or interests. The goal of the conference is to create actionable takeaways and give you the resources and knowledge necessary to implement them within your own organization, while also creating meaningful connections with your peers.
What you can expect:
- Opportunity to network with your peers to build true, meaningful connections
- Ability to collaborate & discuss current problems & hot industry topics you are dealing with and how other leaders have dealt with them in their respected organization
- Smaller, intimate environment allowing for attendees to experience a more collaborative environment in all content sessions, which creates the ability to contribute to the conversation(s) directly
- Opportunity to meet with high level executives, 1 on 1, to discuss potential solutions and how they stack up against your current solution providers
- Only cost is out of pocket travel

As a newly appointed Deputy Director, this was a great networking experience. I thoroughly enjoyed all the session topics and content. I’ve gained valuable insight and possible solutions to some challenges we face. Thank you!
Appreciate privilege of attending the Fall IT Government Congress that brought together a group of professionals who shared common experiences. It was an enlightening and inspiring event that provided not only valuable insights and networking opportunities, but also actionable items. The intimate setting allowed for meaningful discussions, fostering connections that will undoubtedly benefit me. I look forward to future opportunities to engage with this exceptional community of professionals.
This is my favorite conference of the year as it provides so much support and guidance to State and Local Governments. The sessions and vendors focus on issues and solutions for state and local governments. The sessions were led by knowledgeable and passionate peers who shared their insights, best practices, and real-world experiences. This conference also provides the best opportunities for networking and collaboration within my verticle.
Great experience with a diverse group of attendees to share with and learn from!
