One way to take the pulse of an event is to monitor social media streams. At the 2013 Management of Change conference in Cambridge, Md., federal IT professionals and industry leaders gathered to discuss innovation in the government technology space. Both groups took to Twitter to share takeaways, photos and quotes from the panel discussions. The feed became a cascade of ideas and a forum for questions and answers.

We gathered some of the best tweets on trending topics throughout the conference. Send us a tweet to get involved in the conversation: Tweet to @fedtechmagazine
