Best Solution Award Submission

Showcase your "Best Solutions" - public/private collaborations - at GTC West Presents: Conference on California's Future to get company recognition and drive attendance to your booth!

The Best Solutions Showcase is an exciting component of the 2009 Conference on California's Future (CFF) expo floor.  The Best Solutions Showcase features successful solutions implemented in a government organization. We invite you to showcase your "Best Solutions" at CCF to get company recognition and drive attendance to your booth!

Submission & Participation Guidelines

The Best Solutions program is open to all GTC Exhibitors and we strongly encourage all exhibitors to submit an application. Up to 20 solutions will be selected by GTC as a Best Solutions winner and promoted in various ways on the show floor.

To participate and take advantage of the program benefits, simply submit a brief technology solution description that tells a story - in business vs. technical terms - of a successful solution implemented in collaboration with a government agency. The solution should be featured in the booth - along with a representative(s) from the government organization involved where possible - as well as the description of the business challenge, solution and results achieved.

Benefits of Participating:

• The Best Solutions Showcase will be featured on the GTC website.
• The GTC Government Advisory Board will present a Best Solutions Showcase Award certificate to each of the participating teams.
• The presentation will be photographed and posted on the GTC website after the conference.
• A special section of the conference guide will be devoted to the Best Solutions Showcase. It will include a description of the solution, and the company and government organization involved.
• GTC will promote the "Best Solutions" to government attendees via direct mail promotions and announcements made throughout the conference.
• For exhibitors who commit to booth demonstrations, your company name and booth number will be featured as part of the popular Demo Game. Attendees will be eligible for prize drawings each day when they play the game by stopping by these selected booths to experience "Best Solutions" demos!
