2004 sees the 7th Information Technology Conference for Local Government – IT2004, scheduled for 16–19 November in beautiful Coffs Harbour. The conference is being hosted by Coffs Harbour City Council and provides a forum for Local Government managers and support staff to network, learn and exchange ideas.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Evolution’. In the provision of Information Technology, managers are required to adapt, evolve and grow. It’s survival of the fittest and they need to adapt quickly to a rapidly changing environment.
This conference will equip the Local Government IT professional with the skills, knowledge and personal/professional development to grow, evolve and prosper. Similarly, the conference has grown and evolved into the premier Local Government IT event in Australia.
This year, for the first time, the conference will be staged at the Novotel Pacific Bay Resort, which provides some interesting challenges and exciting opportunities for this year’s conference. The IT2004 organisers are sure that regular attendees, many of whom have attended since 1997, will find it a refreshing change.
Registration will shortly be available from the web site at it2004.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/
