FTA is seeking state agency, federal, general electronic commerce, tax service provider and other private-sector presentations related to the application of technologies that enable improvements in tax administration. Multiple or alternative submissions are welcomed.
Positive factors given consideration in our speaker selection process:
- Remarks describing already implemented (not planned) government revenue technologies or improved processes
- State experience(s) using technology featuring before/after comparative information (metrics, ROI, etc. if possible)
- Individual remarks or panels that review multiple-state experiences with a specific technology (including comparatives across states)
- Reviews of applicable broader government or industry technical or regulatory developments or trends (i.e. in payments, telephony, wireless, XML and other standards progress, IT security developments etc.)
- Updates that deliver substantial and significant new information on previously-presented applications
- Newer technologies not yet in use, but that have significant potential to improve tax and revenue processes or operations
- If vendor-suggested, remarks that include a state co-presenter
- Previous compliance with FTA Guidelines on session etiquette and room arrangements/assignments
If you have new developments that you would like considered for presentation, please submit them by April 22, 2010. Submissions can be emailed to Jonathan Lyon, FAXed (202) 624-7888, or submitted online. Please include your e-mail address.
