DeMarzo, Senior Vice President of Strategic Content, UBM Tech Channel.  "This is also a period of incredible opportunity as government IT leaders are looking to innovate and evolve more than ever. XChange Public Sector provides the insight needed to help today's public sector IT channel executives become high-performance innovators through peer exchanges, vendor connections and expert points of view."
