MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

The NASCIO platform is the most unique conference forum that I have had the chance to attend. It is uniquely positioned to facilitate peer engagement and custom collaboration with potential technology partners. The discussions were focused on our specific initiatives and whether [vendor partners] could assist.

I’ve been coming to NASCIO meetings for almost 20 years… the private sector and the CIOs come together, roll up their sleeves and work together as partners to uncover and address the emerging challenges that states are facing and figuring out ways we can work on solutions together.
