The Power to Purchase Technology Expo 2010

Power to Purchase brings DIR contracted technology vendors together with IT and purchasing staff from state agencies, local and county government, K-12 and higher education to raise awareness about our Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Cooperative Contracts program. ICT Co-op Contracts is a streamlined cooperative purchasing program for state and local government, public education, and other public entities within and outside the state of Texas. The event includes a wide range of educational break out sessions as well as time to network in the exhibit hall.

• Earn continuing education credit
