The 2024 County Technology Conference is essential to empowering your county with information about technology and resources. It will offer attendees critical information about the biggest tech and cybersecurity issues facing counties today. The conference will also offer opportunities for you to meet with your county colleagues and learn how other counties tackle technology risks and challenges.
Join us in person or online as we continue to explore new ways to share important information with you and your county.
Registration will open on Nov. 1 at 9 a.m.
What Is a Hybrid Event?
A hybrid event is a conference that combines an in-person event with a virtual component. That means you can join us at the Sheraton Austin Georgetown Hotel & Conference Center, or you can join in from the comfort of your office through a virtual conference platform.
*In-person registration fee does not include access to the virtual platform.

Note: Event confirmation emails will come from Events@Accelevents.com and will be sent to the email address that was used to register for the event.
How to Access the Virtual Event Platform
Conference attendees will need to have access to the internet and use a web browser to log in and join the virtual event. While most internet browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) should allow the event to be accessed, we've found that Google Chrome works best, as other browsers may experience issues. Internet Explorer is not a supported browser for the event.
Google Chrome is free to download; however, some county information technology departments may require county staff to get approval before downloading new software.
