23rd LGIT Conference*

Coffs Harbour City Council is organising the 23rd Local Government Information Technology Conference at Opal Cove Resort, Coffs Harbour, NSW, 3-5 November 2021.

LGIT2021 provides a forum for local government managers and support staff to network, learn and exchange ideas. 

The program will feature key speakers from government, the private sector, online organisations, and the broader computer and communications industries. 

Representatives of local, state and federal government agencies, and business corporations will be in attendance from throughout Australia.

This year’s topics include council case studies; cybersecurity trends in local government; Hybrid Enterprise cloud migration; Internet of things (IOT); artificial intelligence/ machine learning; latest tech trends for the Enterprise; imagining local government I.T. in a post COVID-19 world (future ways of working); smart city fatigue and what smart technology is actually worth investing in? 

We invite you to submit an abstract for consideration as an oral presentation at the conference. 

Please email your abstract (maximum of 200 words) to michelle@ccem.com.au. Please also include a brief background of yourself and your full contact details.

This year’s conference will feature high profile keynote speakers, including Future Crunch who are part of a global movement of scientists, technologists, hackers and creatives that think there are new and better ways of doing things in the 21st century. 

Their expertise ranges from politics, economics, and bioinformatics to design, art and music.

They use their diverse knowledge to provide unexpected perspectives on the world, through the lenses of science, technology and social theory. 

Their mission is to foster intelligent, optimistic thinking about the future, and to empower people to contribute to it.

An extensive trade exhibition and fun networking functions form an integral component of the conference. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to network with industry suppliers and keep up to date with latest developments in industry products and services.

We would like to thank our gold sponsors: NBN Local, HPE Aruba and Microsoft.
