One of the best things you can do to get executive sponsorship for your public sector GIS program is to get your IT director to attend the Esri Public Sector CIO Summit. All IT leaders need at a minimum an annual briefing on the latest trends in GIS. The event is Mar. 25-26 at Esri HQ in Redlands. There is no charge to attend. I have personally seen how this one event changed the attitude of IT directors and they became enthusiastic sponsors of enterprise GIS.

Please forward along this info to your IT directors. There will be powerful presentations and lots of time to network with their peers. In addition to Esri leadership, this year’s featured speakers include:

Rob Burke, Business Services Manager & Enterprise GIS Program Lead, Manatee Co., FL
Chris Carter, GIS Manager, Anaheim, CA
Brendan Cleary, GIS Manager, Chattanooga, TN
Elizabeth Crowe, Director of Urban Analytics & Innovation, Cleveland, OH
Heather Danforth, VP of US State, Local & Education, Microsoft
Ed Jin, Info. Systems Manager, Anaheim, CA
Aaron Judy, Chief of Innovation & Emerging Technologies, Maricopa Co., AZ
Bill Kehoe, Director & State CIO, Washington
John Matelski, CIO, National Association of Counties (NACo)
Richard McHattie, CIO, Maricopa Co., AZ
Jerele Neeld, CIO, Chattanooga, TN
Ryan Ritualo, IT Manager, East Valley Water District
Doug Robinson, Executive Director, NASCIO
Teryn Zmuda, Chief Economist & Chief Research Officer, NACo
