NCLGISA Business Partners:

BOOTH Registration 

Peace Out …. Business Partners,

DIg this….The North Carolina Local Government Information Systems Association is getting ready to lay some heavy info on you. We’re gearing up for the NCLGISA Spring Symposium this May 20 - 22nd. We’re looking to catch some good vibrations and some beautiful riverfront scenery in downtown Wilmington at the Wilmington Convention Center.  

Mark your calendars, man. To get ready for registration, we will host an information ZOOM meeting for all Business Partners planning to exhibit in Wilmington.  On February 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM, join us as we will go over our new registration system - Accelevents.  We hope this will make booth registration a breeze. You can find the skinny on this page for all your BP informational needs.

The Lowdown on Registration

We’ve made a little change to keep things groovy. We have a brand new registration system.  Make sure you come to registration ready with the bread (payment) to pay when registering. You do have the option of “bill me”.   Just be sure to register your guests as soon as possible after that—don’t be a turkey and forget!

Our organization is Amazing because of your support. You bring the professional expertise that keeps our members' worlds turning. Without your ideas and solutions, things would be a real drag.

Catch the Fever: Speaking & Session Rooms

We’re offering 8 choice showcase speaking sessions for our Platinum partners on Wednesday and Thursday.  These will be sold during registration to the first eight platinum partners to purchase them during registration. 

Good Times & Refreshments

The exhibit hall layout is going to be totally choice, just like last fall. We have lengthy breaks so you can really rap with the 400+ IT decision-makers we're expecting.

• Wednesday Afternoon: Business Partner reception in the Exhibit Hall.
• Thursday Night: A "far out" night of food and entertainment. It’s gonna be a gas!
• Tee It Up: On Tuesday, May 18, come test your skills and play golf.  Whether you’re a pro or just there for the scenery, it’s all about fun, food, and prizes. More details will be delivered during the ZOOM session.  .
• If you have any questions, just give me a shout. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Wilmington—it’s gonna be righteous!

Peace and Love,

Amy Walker Business Partner Committee Chair
