TAGITM Updates

We are a mere two months away from our annual conference—the biggest event in Texas for Municipal IT folks! As we announced last month, the conference theme is: “In IT to Win IT.”  As the Olympics will take place this year, we feel the pun is appropriate.  I’m happy to report that by popular demand, we will have a traditional golf tournament and Top Golf in addition to an onsite event for Wednesday night. Thank you for providing feedback. This is your event, and we want to make it the best possible each year. 

I want to thank everyone on the conference committee for your participation in selecting the conference theme, activities, and general speakers. You all are awesome!
