Space in the Solutions Center is free to qualifying government organizations.

What does your agency provide?

Participation in the Solutions Center constitutes a partnership between your agency/organization and Government Technology Executive Events for the period of time leading up to and including the forum. We ask that you help to promote this event to your peers and associates by:

• Providing a link to our event website from your agency or organization's website. If you would like, small .jpg will be provided to you for this purpose. Please contact Liese Brunner and provide her with the exact size of the .jpg that you need (in pixels). She will provide you with our website url.
• Including information about this event, and your participation in the Solutions Center, in internal newsletters and bulletins, distributing promotional materials to interested colleagues, and spreading the word by word-of-mouth.

Display information

You will need to provide your own display materials, excluding signage, which will be provided to you. Displays can be as simple as handouts and literature; as complex as a PC and software demonstrations; or anything in between. Remember, you are trying to show your solution and how it works in the best way possible, with as little expense as possible. Some participants have suggested pooling resources with other agencies or departments or working with a vendor to supply the hardware/software.

Government Solutions Center descriptions

Each participating organization is entitled to a 250-word description of their Solution. The description should be divided into 4 categories: The Problem, The Solution, Technology Involved, and Benefits. Please keep your descriptions limited to the 250-word limit (any description exceeding the maximum word count may be edited by Government Technology).

Once your Solutions Center is approved for inclusion, Exhibitor Instructions, containing more complete information, will be sent to you.
