2026 IJIS Community Forum

Join us June 30th-July 2nd, in sunny Cape Coral, Florida for the IJIS annual Community Forum. The Community Forum is the IJIS Institute's premier conference and educational event that bridges the gap between technology and policy through public- and private-sector collaboration. Through the education and networking opportunities at the Community Forum, public-sector mission challenges intersect with industry innovation, policy, and operational best-practices to help empower effective, innovative and efficient information-sharing that ultimately result in safer and healthier communities. This annual event brings together technology experts and leaders from industry and government in a unique setting and provides an opportunity for constructive dialogues about technology trends, issues, and solutions. The Community Forum allows participants to collaboratively explore various perspectives on the challenges of, and future for, technology and information sharing and safeguarding. Finally, this event will provide our community an opportunity to celebrate twenty-five years of accomplishment! For 25 years, during an unprecedented time in modern history, the IJIS Institute and its community of contributors have provided an array of solutions, expertise, guidance, and tools to help our communities and stakeholders realize improvements in their daily lives. While the technology industry has made, and continues to make, great strides, our mission remains the same: empower information sharing to promote safer and healthier communities by driving public sector technology innovation. Come join us to celebrate the past -- and more importantly -- focusing on the challenges, solutions and collaboration in our future!
