Build Relationships with Local Government Technology Leaders

ANNUAL PROGR AM FOR CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS

We make it easy for you to reach city & county IT leadersCity and county governments are big business. With over 80,000 unique jurisdictions, America’s cities and counties spend $52 billion on technology each year. That’s 60% of the total IT spend of state and local governments. The local market is full of opportunities—but hard to reach. Where do you start?

Our Large City/County CIO Program targets the largest cities and counties in the U.S.:

Cities over 500,000 in population: 26 cities

Counties over 1 million in population: 33 counties

10 large consolidated cities/counties

Together, these 69 jurisdictions spend $7 billion annually on IT.

Our Mid-Market Program helps you reach the mid-market cities and counties that have historically been overlooked or were too time consuming to reach:

1,900 cities with 25,000 - 499,999 in population

900 counties with 50,000 - 999,999 in population

Together, these jurisdictions spend $10 billion annually on IT.

Two programs put your sales executives directly in front of local CIOs and IT decision makers

The Large City/County CIO Program is led by Alan Cox, executive vice president for e.Republic. As a sponsor, you will join Alan and an exclusive group of IT leaders from the biggest cities and counties at two annual events.

The Large City/County CIO Leadership Group Meetings bring together almost-impossible-to-reach local government CIOs and serve as “their NASCIO,” their peer group.

The Mid-Market Program is led by Dustin Haisler, chief innovation officer for e.Republic and a former CIO for a mid-market city in Texas. He leads this program with support from an advisory board of 8 city and 8 county CIOs. Sponsors will join Dustin at two Mid-Market CIO & IT Leadership Roundtables each year, plus four quarterly virtual meetings.

Together, these programs offer many exciting ways to engage local government IT leaders from across the country.

Large City/County CIO Leadership Group MeetingsNetwork with 20-25 CIOs from the largest cities and counties at two informal 1-½ day gatherings. Best practices from this group are picked up by localities across the country.

An annual program of networking, thought leadership and branding opportunities

Mid-Market CIO & IT Leadership Roundtables Twice a year, converse with a national group of 15-20 CIOs from mid-market cities and counties held alongside the National Association of Counties (NACo) and National League of Cities (NLC) conferences.
