IT leaders are increasingly expected to explain not just what they need, but why it matters.

This session covers how to:

• clearly articulate technology investments through decision packages
• identify meaningful cost-saving opportunities
• use available tools to better understand and manage IT spending across the agency.

You will find the agenda here.

This is a free hybrid event.

Note to those attending in person: Lunch is not included, but a continental breakfast will be provided and coffee and water will be available throughout the day.

Note to those attending virtually: Your Zoom link will be sent the day before the event.

FORUM 2026 will be filled with multiple concurrent informational sessions. You will be able to interact with industry/agency leaders and technical experts on topics related to resilience, collaboration and innovation. These sessions are designed to be of value to technology staff, business staff, and management.

FORUM 2026 also will include IPMA sponsor booths, and an area set up for collaboration with your peers and strategic partners.

The agenda is coming soon.
