T-minus 3 days, 20 hours, 2 minutes to liftoff. Are You Ready? We are. The 2015 NASCIO Midyear Conference launches in just a few days. This is my twenty-third NASCIO conference as Executive Director and it's still exciting. The Programs Committee has assembled another strong lineup of sessions and speakers. NASCIO events have a focus on networking and building relationships, so we look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones (about 30% of participants will be first-time attendees). For those attending, safe travels and be ready.
