2016 GCN dig IT Award Finalists Announced

(Vienna, VA, September 7, 2016)— GCN is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2016 GCN dig IT Awards.

For 28 years, the GCN Awards have showcased general excellence in government IT.

The 2016 awards will celebrate leading—edge technologies and the pioneering IT professionals who are driving them forward.

"From the Internet to GPS to drones, much of the most exciting and important technology today has been either invented or driven by government,” GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. “And when you look at this year’s nominations, you see all sort of great examples of pushing the envelope and discovering creative ways to make government work better with tech.”
