Government Solutions Center

What is the Government Solution Center?

Sharing Ideas. . .Celebrating Success

The Government Solutions Center is a showcase for celebrating and sharing successful government solutions. The Solutions Center exhibit area is located on the expo floor and gives government organizations the opportunity to share their high-quality, innovative applications with colleagues from both the public and private sectors. Space in the Solutions Center is complimentary to qualified government organizations.

How does an agency qualify as a Government Solutions Center?

Interested government department or agency must submit an application by the deadline and meet the following criteria:
• Solution/application primarily serves the public and is developed by a public sector agency (partnership with private sector is acceptable)
• Focuses on a technology-related application or solution
• Results or focus of solution relate primarily to benefits for the customer of the organization, rather than primarily on achieving an internal benefit to the organization

What does your agency provide?

Participation in the Solutions Center constitutes a partnership between your agency/organization and Government Technology Conference for the period of time leading up to and including the event.

We ask that you help to promote this event to your peers and associates by providing a link to our event Web site from your agency or organization's Web site. If you would like, a small .jpg will be provided to you for this purpose. Please include information about this event, and your participation in the Government Solutions Center, in internal newsletters and bulletins, distributing promotional materials to interested colleagues, and by word-of-mouth.

Display Information

You will need to provide your own display materials. 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 Conference).

The deadline for submission is 30 days prior to the first day of the event. Government Solutions Center applications received after the deadline may not be included in the Program Guide.
