State & Local Government Virtual Summit

Microsoft is hosting the fourth annual State & Local Government Summit virtual conference and expo in partnership with American City and County next month. This year's event, The Real Impact of Lean Government - Proven Approaches to Delivering Services Without Compromise, brings together industry thought leaders, local government executives, and partners in a 6-hour interactive session. You'll have the opportunity to learn about practical approaches to challenges, ask pointed questions, and get helpful answers from others who are successfully managing cities, counties, states and agencies.

The event explores how new technology solutions can be leveraged by state and local governments to creatively respond to public needs, while managing through budget and resource reductions. Key topics will include the following:

- Public and private cloud

- The "consumerization" of IT

- Enabling mobility and telework

- Unified communications and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)

The State & Local Government Summit will run from 11 a.m. 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 11 and is comprised of 7 sessions hosted by industry experts. With features such as a partner expo hall promoting local government industry associations and other Microsoft partners and a networking lounge where you can interact with your regional field sales and partner representatives, the event provides a great, cost-effective way to collaborate with your peers and network, especially in light of tightening travel and budget restrictions.
