#ELGL16 Pop Up Conference Agendas

Posted on August 18, 2016

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]pop-up-simpleGo big or go home – that’s our motto for this year’s #ELGL16 conference. Instead of hosting one conference on one day, we’re hosting six conferences in one day. ELGL volunteers are planning one day conferences in Durham, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, Menlo Park and Portland on October 21, 2016. No matter where you live, there’s an #ELGL16 nearby.

Each pop up conference agenda includes speakers on a variety of local government topics. These pop up experiences are designed to expand your local government and leadership knowledge in a geographic region close to you.  We’ve pooled our sponsorship resources so each location will provide similar conference amenities and experiences, with each agenda set by a team of dedicated local government enthusiasts who volunteer on the ELGL leadership team.

Check out each agenda, and register today. Your registration fee includes breakfast, lunch, social hour, and #ELGL16 swag. Prices are $35 for students, $75 for ELGL members, and $100 for non-members (includes ELGL membership).[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”October 21, 2016 Conference Agendas” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-star” i_color=”green” color=”green” border_width=”3″ add_icon=”true”][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-star” title=”RDU” tab_id=”1471114957422-ffc5cdb6-5cc0″ add_icon=”true”][vc_btn title=”Register for #ELGL16 – RDU” color=”green” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Felgl16.eventbrite.com||”][vc_column_text]

Gov. Hacks: Resiliency in Technology

While most of us aren’t technological wizards, every aspiring manager needs to understand the challenges that IT staff face in the coming years.  Security threats, ever-shifting tech needs, application based services and other evolving technologies are issues that future managers can only avoid at their own risk.

  • Kevin Gunn, Chief Technology Officer, City of Fort Worth, TX

 

Resiliency in Economic Development

The “Texas Miracle” is often the term used to describe the flourishing of businesses and the general economic rise of the state during and since the last recession.   A question remains – how long can it continue?  Learn what cities must do to build resiliency into their economic development program so that, despite any dips in the business cycle, their local economy can continue to not only grow, but thrive!
