SUMMARY:OktemberFEST 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to announce the Call for Presenters for OktemberFEST 2026\, taking place October 7–8\, 2026 at Prairie Meadows in Altoona! \nWe’re looking for county IT and GIS professionals who are willing to share their knowledge\, experiences\, and innovative ideas with their peers from across Iowa. If you’ve completed an exciting project\, solved a challenging problem\, implemented a new technology\, or have lessons learned that could benefit other counties\, we’d love to hear from you. \nPresentation topics may include\, but are not limited to:\n•         Cybersecurity\n•         Artificial Intelligence (AI)\n•         Geographic Information Systems (GIS)\n•         GIS Data Management & Analysis\n•         Drone/UAS Applications\n•         Mapping & Visualization\n•         Cloud Technologies\n•         Networking & Infrastructure\n•         Microsoft 365\n•         Virtualization\n•         IT Leadership & Management\n•         Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity\n•         Emerging Technologies\n•         Automation & Scripting\n•         Help Desk & End-User Support\n•         Real-World Case Studies and Lessons Learned \nPresentation sessions are available in 15-\, 30-\, and 60-minute formats. We encourage sessions that are educational\, interactive\, and focused on practical solutions that attendees can take back to their own counties. \nYou don’t have to be a professional presenter—if you’ve learned something that could help another county\, we encourage you to share it! \nIf you’re interested in presenting or have an idea for a session\, please reach out to:\nIT\nDalton Morrison\ndmorrison@carrollcountyiowa.gov\nGIS\nTravis Gerrish\ntgerrish@co.franklin.ia.us
