Williamsburg, Virginia, June 2026. Government meeting professionals from across the United States gathered in Williamsburg, Virginia, for the Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) National Education Conference (NEC) 2026, bringing together event leaders, planners, and public-sector professionals to explore the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of government events.
As the Official Conference Mobile App Sponsor, InEvent powered the digital experience attendees relied on throughout the conference to navigate sessions, access schedules, stay informed, and connect with fellow participants.
The partnership placed event technology at the center of the attendee experience while supporting conversations about the evolving role of digital tools in government meetings and conferences.
Throughout the event, attendees used the official NEC mobile app to access real-time conference information, manage their schedules, and stay connected as they moved between educational sessions, networking opportunities, and conference activities.
In addition to supporting the conference experience through technology, InEvent participated in discussions focused on the unique requirements government event professionals face when planning and executing meetings.
One highlight of the conference was the JLM Luncheon, where InEvent Chief Technology Officer Mauricio Giordano shared insights into the evolving event technology landscape and discussed how modern platforms can support the security, compliance, and operational requirements that government organizations demand.
"Government event professionals operate in an environment where compliance, security, accessibility, and accountability are fundamental requirements," said Mauricio Giordano, CTO of InEvent. "The conversations at NEC reinforced the importance of building technology that not only delivers a strong attendee experience but also supports the standards government organizations need to meet every day."
Across conversations throughout the conference, several themes emerged consistently. Government meeting professionals continue to prioritize secure event technology, streamlined attendee experiences, improved operational efficiency, and platforms capable of supporting both in-person and hybrid participation models.
Attendees also highlighted the growing importance of mobile event technology in helping participants navigate increasingly content-rich conferences while maintaining access to real-time updates and essential event information.
