Appreciate privilege of attending the Fall IT Government Congress that brought together a group of professionals who shared common experiences.

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.
