GCN dig IT Tech Arcade Nominations Now Open

(VIENNA, VA., June 3, 2016)— GCN, an 1105 Media brand, is pleased to announce that the call for nominations for the 2016 dig IT Tech Arcade is now open.

For 28 years, the GCN Awards have showcased general excellence in government IT. This year, with the GCN dig IT Awards, we are sharpening the focus to showcase what matters most: transformative tech that is truly reinventing government.

New this year is the Tech Arcade, an exhibit area open to event attendees that will feature hands-on demonstrations of government agencies' most innovative and leading-edge technologies – from robots to interactive visualizations to augmented and virtual reality.

"Most of us are familiar with the Mars rover and DARPA robots, but there’s remarkably cool tech being used in almost every corner of the public sector," GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "Our Tech Arcade offers a chance to see some of those innovations in person, and interact with them in a hands-on way."

Technologies in the Tech Arcade should have compelling interactive qualities such as wearable tech, robots, UAVs, and 3D printers to encourage attendee interaction. If you think your technology fits this description; submit your nominations at http://gcn.com/techarcade. Nominations are open until August 31st and anyone may nominate a technology.
