The Annual Technology Conference is being held on March 11 th at the Augusta Civic Center. We are offering a full day of programming on technology issues impacting municipalities.

Check out the Full Program and then Register Online .

The General Program starts the day off with something for everyone who depends on computer data and technology -   “Planning for an IT Disaster – a guide for local government” . It is followed later in the day by a panel discussing this issue from the local perspective.  

A whole day's programming is being offered by the Maine GIS User Group focusing on municipal uses of GIS. Some of the highlights are:

• This track covers uses for Community Development and Planning in areas such as how to use GIS within a planning process, shoreland zoning, workforce analysis, vernal pools, water quality projects, etc.
• Assessors will learn about a town that is linking parcel data to deed records.
• Any position that is involved in IT or GIS will find great value in this program track.
• This track has been approved for 6 recertification credits for Certified Maine Assessors.

Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, etc. ) will be discussed in two workshops. One focuses on how to use it to communicate with citizens. The other discusses it from the legal perspective, as they d is cuss “ Regulatory Aspects of Electronic Communications and Record-Keeping”.
