The TAGITM Annual Education Conference will be held April 7-10, 2026 at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort, San Antonio, Texas. The TAGITM Conference provides technology education specific to county and city IT Managers and staff. If you are in charge of the technical strategic direction for your county or city or are involved in making technology decisions and recommendations for your municipality, you will want to attend!

The TAGITM Conference Committee delivers an outstanding program. Over 45 years of leadership, insight and innovation go into the planning of this conference. The conference provides excellent education sessions, opportunities to explore the exhibit hall to learn about new cutting edge technologies and services from some of the industry’s leading providers, and networking with business partners from across the state.

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.

Federal agencies across the board are facing rapidly multiplying security threats, from nation states to criminals. Today's security operations centers (SOCs) are facing a barrage of "more." More attacks. More security tools. More devices and data. To eliminate current threats and anticipate future ones, your SOC must evolve, and fast. 

There are numerous mandates directing elements of cybersecurity policies and practices, such as Executive Order 14028 requiring Zero Trust architectures for agencies’ networks and software supply chain integrity, NIST standards for post-quantum cryptography and AI use, and FedRAMP 20x. All the mandates aim for the same result: cybersecurity in real time, continuous and dynamic monitoring, and the ability to tie different systems together. 

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the challenges involved in modernizing SOCs. 

Discussion topics include:

• Streamlining security tools
• Minimizing alerts and prioritizing critical actions
• Reducing threat containment time
• Real-world solutions from cyber experts
