All,
I’m excited to report that the GA GMIS Conference Fall 2026 Registration is open! The Board of Directors is looking forward to seeing you at Westin Atlanta Gwinnett in Duluth, October 19-21, 2026.
A Note from our President, Jaime Montalvo:
“Our conference theme, “Georgia Grown. Technology Driven.”, celebrates two things that define our organization: our deep Georgia roots and our commitment to advancing technology in local and state government. Just as Georgia’s renowned peaches, peanuts, and blueberries represent growth, resilience, and innovation across our state, our vendor partners continue cultivating new ideas, strengthening partnerships, and delivering technology solutions that improve government services for the citizens we serve”.
Please carefully read the attached registration brochure as there are changes from previous events.
Please let me know if you have any questions. The preferred method of contact is via email at knightk@douglasvillega.gov
I look forward to seeing you in Duluth!
Karen Knight
Director of Corporate Sponsorship
