The purpose of CoSN’s Annual Conference is to advance the knowledge and skills of K-12 school leaders. We delve into crucial topics such as cybersecurity, student data privacy, and the implementation of generative AI in schools — issues at the forefront for educational institutions and their communities. CoSN provides an unparalleled platform for districts to deepen their understanding of these critical issues and explore effective strategies for addressing them safely and successfully within the K-12 system.

Our focus is on delivering a diverse mix of keynote speakers, interactive sessions, learning and networking opportunities, and more that equip school leaders with the insights and tools necessary to safeguard K-12 technology.

As government organizations modernize facilities and adapt to new ways of working, workplace technology has become a critical foundation for collaboration, communication and service delivery. But designing modern government workspaces requires thoughtful planning, especially when launching new facilities or updating legacy environments.

In this session, IT leaders from the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) will share lessons learned from planning and implementing workplace technology across four locations: two facilities in Austin, one in El Paso, and one in London. Bringing together long-established offices with newly built environments provides a practical example of the challenges IT teams often face when modernizing technology across diverse government workplaces.

From meeting space design to standardized collaboration tools, the TRS team will discuss how they created consistent environments that are simple for employees to use and easier for IT teams to manage and support.

Attendees will hear practical insights on how agencies can approach workplace modernization while maintaining consistency, usability and operational efficiency across locations and supporting government service delivery.

We’ll cover:

• Key lessons learned from planning workplace technology across new and existing government facilities
• Considerations for designing meeting spaces that support collaboration and hybrid work
• How standardizing collaboration tools can simplify support and improve user experience
• Strategies for IT teams managing growing device fleets and workplace technology

Whether you are renovating existing spaces or planning new facilities, this session will provide practical insight into how agencies can create technology-enabled workplaces that improve collaboration, support employees and help government teams deliver better services to constituents.
