It is most useful for state and local government IT executives in Texas, since the gathering is invitation-only and the speakers include Tony Sauerhoff, the State Chief Information Officer at the Department of Information Resources. The focus on leadership, policy and people rather than products suits senior public-sector technologists. Vendors seeking a sales audience or technical staff wanting hands-on training would get less from a peer-exchange format built around leadership development.
Government technology leaders at events in Austin usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blazer, with ties uncommon.
