Follow These GITEC 2013 Presenters on Twitter
Year after year, the GITEC Summit is consistently one of the best government-technology conferences offered. This year promises to uphold the tradition by facilitating engaging and interesting conversations between federal technology leaders and industry executives. As the two groups search for common ground, federal budgets stand to benefit from future-proof technology and streamlined approaches to legacy computing.
In 2012, FedTech interviewed federal IT leaders on the topics of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, mobility and cloud computing, among other topics. Our team will be on hand again this year, collecting the best of what GITEC has to offer. We will be posting videos and articles on our site during the show, and tweeting to let our readers know what is available.
In addition to following FedTech, we recommend following this year’s speakers and moderators on Twitter. Learn more about these leaders, thank them for participating and ask questions. We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore.
