Annual ConferenceIn 2003, MAGWeb hosted the first Government Webmasters Conference. This national event attracted more than 200 attendees from 29 states and was such a success that the conference planning team decided to hold a second one in 2004. After two years of overwhelming support, MAGWeb turned the conference over to a new hosting city in 2005. The '05 conference was held in Denver.
Some of the same people who planned the Kansas City and Denver conferences formed the National Association of Government Webmasters (NAGW). NAGW officially came into being at the 2005 Denver gathering and now oversees the annual conferences.
The 2008 conference will be Sept. 10-12 at the Pheasant Run Resort and Spa in St. Charles (Chicago), IL. It will be preceded by a day of pre-conference sessions Sept. 9.
