PAST YEARS MATERIAL 2007 Conference - Sparks/Reno, Nevada
“Managing the Technology
Stampede” was the theme for the 2007 GMIS International
conference held in beautiful northern Nevada. With the majestic Sierra
Nevada Mountains as a backdrop more than 260 attendees, speakers and
exhibitors from around the world availed themselves of the full educational
program and extracurricular activities. A full-day information security
boot camp rounded out a speaker roster that was highlighted by multiple
keynote talks addressing such topics as emerging technologies, data security
and the role of CIO as a superhero. 2006 Conference - Charleston, South Carolina GMIS2006 Conference was held June 25-28 in Charleston, South Carolina.
The conference offered the
200 attendees great speakers, great food, and great events. Speakers
including the New Orleans CTO talking about the Hurricane Katrina aftermath
and Mike Veeck explaining why "Fun is Good!" in our jobs were two of many
memorable sessions. Monday night's Dinner on the Harbor cruise and Wednesday
night's Carolina Beach Party, each with live entertainment, highlighted the
Conference's social events. The only complaint heard was too much good
food! 2005 Conference - New Haven, Connecticut GMIS2005
Conference was held June 5th-8th at the Omni Hotel adjoining Yale
University. 180 I/T executive CIO, Directors, and other GOVERNMENT TECHNICAL
MANAGERS ATTENDED. All had a great experience. 2004 Conference - Wichita, Kansas What do vendors say about
the conferences? 2004 GMIS Conference Solution Providers / Vendor List The 2004 GMIS International Conference will be held at the Marriott Hotel in Wichita, Kansas, June 20-23, 2004. The theme of the conference will be GMIS in Kansas – Reap a Harvest of New Ideas and will focus on the technical and management issues confronting government agencies. An important part of the International Conference is the participation of hardware and software solution providers, especially those with experience in the Government sector and who anticipate providing government-oriented equipment and solutions in the coming years. In recognition of the contribution that such vendors make, the 2004 conference featured an hour and half vendor-focused event in addition to the usual “vendor visit” opportunities between the educational break-out sessions. If you would like to participate in this year's conference and are considering exhibiting your products, please contact the GMIS vendor representative named below as exhibition space is limited.

Salt Lake City
Hello
Fellow Members of GMIS,
I want to give
you a quick report on the progress that we here in Utah are making toward our
annual International Educational Conference that will be held June 22 -25, 2003
in Salt Lake City at the beautiful newly remodeled Little America Hotel. The
underlying theme of the conference is Inter-governmental Collaboration. Our
focus will be on overcoming barriers to cooperative IT initiatives between
agencies and departments. Our planning committee is composed of coordinators
for the major components of the conference. They are each doing an excellent
job and progress is good at this point. We have a general outline of the
education program with several slots yet to be filled. The activities /
entertainment program is coming together.
The accommodations are set with room rates ranging from $75 to $119. We finalized the registration fees in our last meeting. They are:
GMIS
Members $300
Late
Registration $350
Non-Members $425
Member's
Guest $65
Golf $35
More detail to come when our web site comes up at the end of this month. Be watching right here for the link.
Now for your
part. As I read the many good discussions about products and vendors that you
all recommend and we all use, I think what great relationships most of us have
with our vendors. Do them a great big favor and invite them to participate in
the conference. Don't take no for an answer. You spend big bucks on their
services so they should show their support for you and your GMIS
organization. And it is really to their benefit anyway. Our Vendor
Registration System for the conference is fully functional and we are
currently taking registrations. Attached is the complete
vendor information /
registration packet (in Word) that you can give to your vendors. So please
talk to them and help them get registered. Now is the time while they are
planning which events next year to participate in. Any questions can be
directed to me or our Vendor Coordinator, David M. Willis (Dave's contact info
is in the packet). More updates will be coming. Stay tuned.

Chairman, GMIS 2003 International Educational Conference
