There are events/meetings that you want to go to and then there are events that you want to be a part of. I have had the opportunity to be a part of 2 in person tech tables and after each event I found myself wanting to know when the next event was. The greatest thing about these meetings are that the guests are bouncing ideas and thoughts off of one another where it becomes more of a think tank!! Joe and his team do an amazing job with these and I highly recommend attending and or listening into them.

Joe Toste, is one of the freshest and sharpest podcast hosts in the tech world at the moment. The Public Sector Show by TechTables is all about Connecting Public Sector 
Community through Darn Good Conversation. He is known for bringing his enthusiastic and fun approach to the live stage in a storytelling fashion. Typically, you will listen to C-Level guests ranging from startup companies to Fortune 500 behemoths as guests. Joe is a force to be reckoned with and has grown his brand in a very short amount of time. I am a huge fan of his SLED (State, Local, Education and Department/Government Agencies) content which is dedicated to curating meaningful conversations regarding what is happening in the government tech world. I highly recommend add TechTables to your playlist!!

Great job Joe, Thank you for what you are doing with TechTables and the community you are building. Your podcasts have been great, and what I love about them are that even though it is "TechTables", the humanistic side that you and your guests talk about not just technology, but empowering teams, mentoring, everyone is in it together...what is "leadership". Couldn't be more spot on. Participating in TechTables live has been instrumental in getting to know both some of the vendors participating and government folks. They are small, intimate and you really get to know people and have made some good friends as well. Keep them coming...for anyone thinking that it is all about the technology, Joe does a great job with his guests even though "Tech" is in the title, it always comes back to people and is relatable to even those without a"Tech" background who are leaders, on teams and want to become a leader or just want to contribute to the "mission".

Being a CISO is like being a quarterback, but constantly running a two minute offense. Preparation beats panic. Fantastic live event for TechTables Podcast. Such a great group of professionals working hard to secure the public sector and find innovative technology solutions for government. Thanks Joe Toste for hosting such a great event (Phoenix Live Podcast Tour) / Houston Live Podcast Tour Had a blast at this podcast event with Ryan Murray and Krishna Edathil. Joe Toste hosted a one of a kind event that brought together hashtag#cybersecurity and hashtag#technology leaders from around the country. Really enjoyed our conversation on challenges facing the public sector to recruit and retain cyber talent. Check out the podcast below and be sure to be part of Joe’s future events! PS: If this is Arizona versus Texas, I’m sure glad it’s cybersecurity strategies and not college football games. I think our state is stronger in cyberspace than the gridiron.

For those of you new to TechTables, this podcast is informative and very important to closing the communication gap across the public sector amongst agencies. Overall, I use the information shared as a reference guide to help make informed and trusted decisions. Newcomers to public sector IT will find the information shared on this podcast related to the culture and challenges to delivering technology insightful and informative. Details shared with by leaders can be used as a stepping stone to success. Veterans to public sector IT will find this podcast to be helpful in obtaining information on how different agencies approach IT modernization and digitization of legacy business processes. Information shared by other leaders can be used as a roadmap to success. Technology service and software providers can use the information shared to best determine how they can support agencies in a way that’s beneficial to obtaining goals and solving issues.

Hi, I'm Amanda Crawford, and I have the privilege of serving as the Executive Director of the Texas Department of Information Resources and the chief information officer for the State of Texas. What do I love about theTechTables podcast? Well, not only was it a really fun experience, but it's a great opportunity to talk about some of the successes and celebrate the wins that we've had here in the state of Texas and also reflect on some of the challenges that we have here in our state when we're dealing with technology, which I know are shared across the country by other folks. So it's a great time to have that reflection point to pause, and Joe is really able to help bring out some of those reflection points so that we can advance the ball and move forward on that. Where do I see tech tables going? I think TechTables, especially with Joe at the helm, Sky's the limit. We can go anywhere. I would love to see more live events like the one we had here in Austin at the ACL Moody Theater. Maybe some webinars where there's interactive questions from the audience, or maybe some panel events as well, where we can get together with peers across all of public and private sector to talk about some of our challenges. And what do I love most? What's my favorite thing about Joe Toste? Well, I think it's got to be his know, his, his enthusiasm is contagious, and his passion for what he does is really inspiring. So hanging out with Joe is always a lot of fun, and he's able to make even just a podcast interview seem like just a fun time. Hanging out with a friend.
