The Local Host Committee (LHC) is an advisory group of appointed volunteers to help plan the Government Social Media Conference. Members are typically highly engaged social media or communication professionals in the public sector and work in the greater region where GSMCON is being held each year.
The LHC works in coordination with Team GSM and the GSM Membership Council to help plan an exceptional conference experience!
Welcome to our new GSMCON2022 Local Host Committee members! We’re excited to bring GSMCON2022 to Dallas, Texas, and thrilled to work with this group of dynamic professionals who know major players in the region, can help get key agencies involved and who are excited to make the event a total success for both the region and our nation.
Looking for the GSMCON2021 Local Host Committee? Because the conference was held 100% online, we didn't recruit for an LHC!
The GSMCON2020 conference was cancelled just a couple of weeks prior to the event in March 2020 due to the COVID19 pandemic, so our host committee didn't have the opportunity to help run the event. However, the committee deserves to be recognized for their dedicated commitment in helping to plan the event for many months!
