FOR CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS

A N N UA L P R O G R A M

Build Relationships with Local Government Technology Leaders

We make it easy for you to reach city & county IT leaders City 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.

NEW 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.

An annual program of networking, thought leadership and branding opportunities 400 shared leads are guaranteed from events attendees and content downloads.

Large City/County CIO Leadership Group Meetings Network 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.
