About The Program

The Summer 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.

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

A discussion on the implementation of AI and the organizational effects

CIOs today have 2 things on their plates, AI and Cyber security 

Surely your IT staff, procurement team and finance department all made the mental leap from on-premise to data center many moons ago. That’s all we’re doing with AWS/Google/Azure/Your Vendor Cloud here. For the City of Pittsburgh, the biggest hurdle was coming to grips with the inability to touch servers.

The budget constraint issues in government technology leadership revolve around the challenge of delivering efficient and effective technology solutions within limited financial resources. This includes: Resource Allocation, Legacy Systems Maintenance, Procurement Challenges, Talent Acquisition and Retention, and leading your organization towards Innovation.

Delegate Testimonials

Roderick Burton
Director of Information Technology, Albemarle County, Virginia

The Fall Government IT Congress creates an outstanding opportunity to connect with State and Local Government leaders in a more intimate setting that allows for authentic connections with peers. The smaller group size and paced content allows for an open exchange of ideas and perspectives to broaden awareness in the emerging areas of government information technology.

Danny Vera
Director of IT, City of Edinburg, Texas

Among the conferences I've attended, this one stands out as a personal favorite. What set it apart for me was its intimate scale and the limited number of vendors. I appreciated the fact that the presenters were prominent leaders in their respective fields, sharing their valuable experiences and providing insightful advice.

Ronya Henderson
Deputy Director of IT, City of Shreveport, Louisiana

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!

Shane Stovall
IT Director, City of Paragould, Arkansas
