Forum is an annual information technology seminar and trade show sponsored by the IPMA. For twenty-eight years, Forum has proven to be an effective opportunity for vendors to demonstrate their products, for speakers to share their expertise and knowledge, and for state employees and others to attend free seminars and product demonstrations. Forum is one of the premier technology shows in the Pacific Northwest and the largest to focus solely on the public sector. Approximately 1,000 state, county, city and private sector employees attended Forum last year.
