This was by far the most needed and awesome IT Symposium. The success stories, the common cause and just to take a time to think about who we serve and to hear from leaders was amazing and very motivating.
IT’S TIME TO REUNITE, REIMAGINE & RECHARGE…
DECEMBER 6-8, 2022

Join Fusion Learning Partners for the 2022 GOVIT Symposium with 3 in-person days (at the Saint Paul RiverCentre), and featured virtual sessions. Attendees can expect nothing but the best from this year’s hybrid Symposium. With a focus on connection and collaboration, you will meet industry experts and partners who can help discover innovative solutions to your government sector needs.
The 2022 Symposium will host government leaders and professionals from across the greater Midwest — including city, county, state and regional agencies, as well as state college and university offices. See you December 6-8th for the new & improved GOVIT Symposium!
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2022?
After 40 years, we are re-imagining the GOVIT Symposium with expanded space and extended time for informal learning and personal engagement. We know that government technology is no longer strictly technology-focused but incorporates a broader set of skills.
Because of this we’re incorporating a large, open and fully dedicated tradeshow space energized with a variety of experiential activities for attendees and vendors, and extended break times to maximize participation! This new space is called the GOVIT Hub!

Want to learn more about what the GOVIT Symposium has looked like in the past? Check out 2020 & 2021!
