Government Information Technology Executive Council

The Government Information Technology Executive Council (GITEC) is a council of senior level government executives organized to support the delivery of high quality and cost-effective Information Technology (IT) services to their customers.

The Council was established in response to a June 28, 1966 White House memorandum. The memorandum called for an organization to provide avenues through which Senior Level Government and Industry Executives could share and collaborate in an open forum on Information Technology (IT) ideas, challenges, and successes.
GITEC has organized and structured an impressive array of initiatives to focus on vital and timely issues affecting the direction and future of IT, including executive seminars, workgroups, summits, committees, and for 25 years GITEC hosted the annual Information Processing Interagency Conference. The emphasis on executive importance, event excellence, outstanding venue, quality, and value distinguished IPIC from all other IT-related events.

Beginning with the 25th anniversary in 2009, GITEC changed its focus to reflect a new era for IT professionals and a new Administration. In March of 2010 GITEC hosted its first "GITEC Summit". The GITEC 2010 Summit proved to be a huge success and received many praises for the new format.

As the premier IT executive conference, the GITEC Summit ensures an environment that fosters invited conversation and comfortable networking. GITEC Summit, as did past IPIC, attendees represent senior-level executives from key government agencies and an impressive group of Fortune 500 IT companies.
