Wall of Love ❤️

"This is a great newsletter Joe!! Love it."

"Hey, everybody. My name is Jared Pane, and I'm a Director for Solution Architecture at Elastic. I had an amazing time here at TechTables with Joe. We had great conversations, led to good avenues of how leadership was going to be where Elastic is on the generative AI space, and where the industry is going in general. Kendra from University of San Antonio was amazing, and I would do this all over again. It was a great time."

I'm incredibly excited to announce Info-Tech Research Group's partnership with TechTables and Joe Toste. I've been a fan of Joe's work for a while now and this union between two great groups supporting Public Sector IT Leaders was only a matter of time.

Our CEO, Tom Zehren, formally kicked off the partnership in-person at the TechTables Miami Live Podcast Tour last month. From here, we plan to showcase the great work that Public Sector IT Leaders are doing through a series of virtual podcasts with Joe.

A big thanks to Hannes Scheidegger and a few key voices like that of the world infamous golfer and CIO, Bob Leek, for helping nudge this along!

I get invited to countless industry events, but The TechTables Community for Local Government stood out immediately. What drew me in was Joe's energy and the culture he's building—this isn't another peer group recycling the same cybersecurity slides. It's a community where we have frank, meaningful conversations about what actually matters. The caliber of people here and the genuine discussions that go beyond surface-level topics—that's exactly what I was looking for. This is where real leadership conversations happen.

The TechTables CIO Community is exactly what I was looking for! What sets this community apart is the caliber of CIO’s, the culture of accountability, the genuine camaraderie, and the shared commitment to growth. If you’re a public sector CIO looking to elevate your leadership and collaborate with peers who are walking a similar path, The TechTables CIO Community is the place to be!

Being here at the 2024 live podcast in Phoenix has been fantastic. The caliber of people that are here has been wonderful. Getting to know them, build relationships, and then just the knowledge sharing. You know, just listening to these experts talk about the challenges they're facing, the solutions that they're coming up with. I was wishing that several other members of my team were here because there's just such good content and such good information that I'm picking up on, and it's more intimate, it's smaller, and the ability to have some really great dialogues and conversations and build those relationships with peers has really stood out to me, and I think would be really valuable to any CIO who is looking to improve his or her abilities and just hear from others on their journey and what they're learning. And that's just been really impactful. So I would highly recommend it.
