Letter from the President: Matt Wainwright

 

 

The GMIS International 2015 Annual Conference is just a few months away! 

Your GMIS Conference Committee and GMIS Board have collaborated and worked tirelessly to bring to you a spectacular event. Our agenda includes esteemed keynote speakers, breakout sessions focused on management, tactical and specialty tracks, an exhibit hall full of innovative ideas, and plenty of time to network with your friends (and make new ones). If you have not already registered, what are you waiting for?! Register here. Be sure to sign in to get member pricing.

 

Our educational focus this year will be on effectively leading teams and projects, cybersecurity, fiber, public safety, requirements and business processes, management responsibilities and more. Check out the online agenda to read more about our 2015 topics and speakers. 

Looking for innovative solutions or new technologies? Our expo hall will be filled with opportunity. Check out our 2015 sponsors and exhibitors page to see who will be in attendance.

Arriving on Sunday? We hope to see you on the trolley tour or yacht cruise, and to see you at the President's Reception at 6 p.m. With sweeping views of the ocean and a New England-style menu, this will be the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow attendees. 

Bringing a guest? Send them on a tour of Newport Vineyards, a bike tour of the island, or out shopping! Check out our guest activities here. 

Though we have an action-packed agenda, there will still be time for you to explore our beautiful host city, Newport. We will even be hosting a closing banquet at the historic Rosecliff Mansion, thanks to our 2015 Conference Sponsor, SHI. Be sure to check out all there is to do in this historic beachfront town! 

Don’t forget to book your hotel room! The conference rate expires on August 22, so you will want to make your reservation prior. 

 

I look forward to seeing you all in Newport!
