About NJ GMIS TEC
 

GMIS is the nation’s largest association of government IT leaders. Members come from all sectors of government (federal, state, local and K-12 education). We provide an organizational structure and networking opportunities, with activities that enhance coordination between state, county and local governments as well as with public school agencies. GMIS provides an unprecedented forum for the exchange of ideas, information and techniques covering hardware, software, management and communication developments as they relate to government agencies’ use of technology. Glancing through the leadership roster, you will notice that IT managers from both large and small organizations are active participants in the association, and are committed to making it a success. Nationally, GMIS members control hundreds of billions of IT budget dollars and are influential in their organizations.


Over 150 New Jersey public sector IT professionals, are expected to attend our annual conference. The education sessions will focus on providing the most up-todate information and the newest solutions aimed at New Jersey’s government IT specialists.
