The 2010 PTI Technology Solutions & Innovations Conference at FOSE brings together local government officials and representatives from the private sector interested in learning about the technology issues, challenges and opportunities facing America’s cities and counties.

"The entries show that PTI member governments continue to be at the forefront when it comes to deploying technology at the local level," said PTI Executive Director Alan R. Shark. "As government services come under increasing scrutiny during these difficult budget times, cities and counties must continue to invest in sound technology tools and practices. In the entries that PTI received I think you will see where those investments definitely paid off."
