1. TECH EXPO
A special one-day offering from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM on Wednesday of MACo’s Summer Conference – the Tech Expo brings together technology vendors and experts with county and state government stakeholders to provide partnerships, education, and networking opportunities that will benefit the entire state. 60 tech exhibits + 3 tech-focused sessions = a “must attend” day!
