Start: 2016-09-22T08:00
Location: Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel

Overview

From Casa Grande to Carefree and Surprise to Gold Canyon, the Phoenix Metropolitan Area is a diverse collection of cities and counties representing over 4 million residents. As with any region, the opportunity for government IT leaders to meet in an unstructured, “let’s have a conversation”, manner is always welcome. The goal of this regional meeting is to provide a forum for a broad group to meet and discuss topics of common interest, share strategies and lend support to those organizations who may be starting out on a path that others have already taken.
