 Partnership for Success – Delivering IT Solutions across Federal, State and Local Jurisdictions. The Partnership theme highlights the need to collaborate efforts that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of providing information technology to fellow Americans across multiple jurisdictions and disciplines.

For 31 years the Management of Change Conference has provided a valuable, trusted and stimulating forum where government and industry can collaborate on improving government through the use of information technology.  With an acute budget crisis and increasing demands for transparency, government needs to take full advantage of the efficiencies and effectiveness offered by innovative information technologies.  Join 400 of your colleagues to explore how cross-jurisdictional collaboration can be a winning strategy.  Conference highlights include:
