ABOUT THE CONFERENCENearly 1,000 IT leaders and professionals from across the spectrum of government agencies and systems, along with their private and civic sector partners, will gather again for three days of engagement, inspiration and information. As the country's longest running government IT event, and the region's biggest, this is THE place to gain access to the Midwest's largest audience of government IT professionals.

In 1981, a team of government IT professionals broke new ground when they launched Minnesota’s first annual Government IT Symposium. Today, that tradition is stronger than ever! Now in its 36th year, the region’s longest-running and biggest government IT conference focuses on using IT innovations, integration and intelligence to support the public good. It's also the place for companies and organizations servicing the government to share their new services, products and innovations through an elite sponsorship program or exhibition booth.

2017 Government IT Symposium

Do more than just exhibit at the Government IT Symposium!

"Cisco has been a sponsor of the MN Government IT Symposium for over 10 years. We have found this is to be the most effective event in Minnesota for reaching our public sector customers."- Bill Bleckwehl, Cisco
