2024 Local Host Committee

About the Local Host Committee

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!

GSMCON2024 Local Host Committee

This group of public sector professionals serve on the GSMCON2024 Local Host Committee and are donating their time and expertise to help make hybrid GSMCON2024 in Palm Springs, California an even greater experience. With their networks and commitment, the event’s impact will be greater not only in the Golden State but also across the country.

Looking for the GSMCON2021 Local Host Committee? Because the conference was held 100% online, we didn't recruit for an LHC!

GSMCON2020 Local Host Committee

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!
