A Note from our President

It gives me great pleasure to share about the upcoming GA GMIS Spring Conference to be held May 6-8, 2024 at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia.

The theme for this year’s conference is “Ideapalooza: A Festival of Fun and Fresh Perspectives.” Can we innovate? Can we continue to encourage improvement within our organizations? With your help, we will attempt to make a carnival of ideas and innovation for the coming conference and want you to join in the festival!

The “Good, Bad and Ugly” session is a fan favorite and will have plenty of insights from the previous year. The Tuesday night dinner will feature awards, certificate presentations and a fun trivia event. There will also be numerous networking opportunities during and after hours with these IT leaders and peers.

Thank you for your support and dedication to Georgia GMIS. Together, we can make the GA GMIS Spring Conference 2024 a festival of ideas! I look forward to seeing you in Athens!

Jonathan Reich
President, Georgia GMIS
