Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of market trends, improve negotiation techniques, or explore new technologies, there will something for everyone at Regional.  We look forward to seeing those who registered.  Also, the Vendor Expo is FREE for all government employees, so I encourage you to invite your end users to meet and speak with the vendors in attendance.
