The Countdown Is On: Comtrac to Exhibit at Tech in Gov

Comtrac is delighted to be named as a platinum sponsor for the Tech in Gov Conference, held at the National Convention Centre in May 2022. Comtrac’s Founder and CEO, Craig Doran, said:

“We’re delighted to be sponsoring an event that unites industry leaders across ICT, business and government sectors. I’m looking forward to presenting on the innovation and efficiencies of digital briefs of evidence.”

Craig will present “It’s not a pandemic but it’s global” on the second day of Tech in Gov.

He will share industry knowledge and insights into the impact of COVID-19 on the global transition from paper-based to virtual courts, the growing importance of clarity over investigation workflows and how government agencies can deliver high-quality digital briefs of evidence.

“We look forward to sharing the innovations we’ve brought to the government sector, but just as significantly, we look forward to hearing about the latest innovations from our peers,” he added.

The team at Comtrac will be sharing exclusive updates throughout Tech in Gov. To keep up-to-date about the latest news, industry insights and company updates, make sure you are following Comtrac on LinkedIn.
