Why Attend the ITGA Conference?
"We, the City of Clemson/Clemson University, were fortunate to host the ITGA twice since the inception of the organization and this past conference was a tremendous success! Bringing individuals together all across the country in a safe environment produced productive conversations and created a perfect forum to share best practices with each other. We look forward to the next ITGA Conference!"
