GOGov is excited to announce our participation as an exhibitor at the Florida Municipal Communicators Association (FMCA) Annual Conference, happening April 29-30, 2026, at the stunning Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach. This premier event brings together local government communicators and public information professionals from across the Sunshine State to learn, share, and connect. Whether you're managing social media, coordinating emergency communications, or leading your municipality's public engagement strategy, join us at our booth to discover how GOGov can amplify your impact and streamline your workflow.

Why GOGov at the FMCA Conference?

At GOGov, we understand that government communicators face unique challenges. You're expected to reach every resident—from the digitally savvy to those who rarely check social media. You need to communicate quickly during emergencies while maintaining accuracy. You're tasked with driving engagement while working within tight budgets. We're passionate about empowering communicators with tools that work as hard as you do, making it easier to connect with residents across every channel.

Success Stories from Florida Municipalities

Don't just take our word for it—see what Florida municipalities are already achieving with GOGov.

City of Sanford: Reaching Everyone, Not Just Social Media Users

Lisa Holder, Communications and Marketing Manager at the City of Sanford, articulates a challenge every communicator faces:

"We want to reach everyone. Not everybody's on social media, but like I said earlier, everybody has a phone."

— Lisa Holder, Communications and Marketing Manager, City of Sanford

The integration capabilities sealed the deal:

"What sealed the deal for the city of Sanford choosing GOGov was the fact that we could integrate it with our work order system Lucity. That was a huge plus for us."

— Lisa Holder, Communications and Marketing Manager, City of Sanford

Lisa's perspective on government innovation resonates with forward-thinking communicators:

"First and foremost, it's innovative. While apps have been around for a long time, it's exciting to see governments embracing technology like this. For the private sector, it's a no-brainer, but for local governments, it's a game-changer."

— Lisa Holder, Communications and Marketing Manager, City of Sanford

And her recommendation to other cities is clear:

"Consider the diverse range of people—with varying languages and backgrounds—who need access to the same information. An app like this makes it easy to reach everyone in a way that's both efficient and effective. I would definitely recommend other cities adopt it. It's like keeping up with the Joneses. After all, everyone has a phone, and people are already familiar with how to use apps."

— Lisa Holder, Communications and Marketing Manager, City of Sanford

Clay County: Making Information Accessible

Laura Christmas, Communications Director at Clay County, describes the core mission of every communicator:

"Our job is to make information accessible to the public, and this really puts information right at their fingertips."

— Laura Christmas, Communications Director, Clay County

And her verdict after implementation?

"I would recommend GOGov. It's been a game-changer for us."

— Laura Christmas, Communications Director, Clay County

Village of Biscayne Park: Beyond Communication—Workload Management

Chris Truitt, Village Manager at the Village of Biscayne Park, discovered that GOGov offers more than just communication tools:

"The GOGov products essentially turn into a workload management system. We can track where the requests are coming from, we can track our responses to those requests, and we can see who is constantly requesting issues, such as flooding."

— Chris Truitt, Village Manager, Village of Biscayne Park

The configurability impressed them:

"Go for it, give it a shot! We like the fact that it's highly configurable. Like I said, we're using it to modernize purchasing, which isn't something I would imagine is normally used for. The sales team at GOGov is phenomenal, the implementation team is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. We always had answers within seemed like minutes."

— Chris Truitt, Village Manager, Village of Biscayne Park

What You'll See at Our Booth

Here's what you can explore when you visit GOGov at the FMCA Conference:

Citizen Notifications

Florida's weather demands instant communication—from hurricane warnings to tornado alerts to severe thunderstorms. Our Citizen Notifications solution allows communicators to reach residents instantly through multiple channels, including SMS/texting, email, push notifications, voice alerts, and social media. Whether it's an evacuation order, a boil water notice, or a beach closure, GOGov ensures your critical messages reach residents immediately—not when they happen to check social media.

As Lisa Holder noted, not everybody is on social media—but everybody has a phone.

Citizen Requests/311 Management

Give residents a direct line to report issues while reducing the burden on your communications team. Our Citizen Requests/311 platform empowers residents to submit requests directly from their mobile devices—complete with photos and GPS locations. As Biscayne Park discovered, this becomes a powerful workload management system, allowing you to track requests, monitor response times, and identify patterns in community concerns.

Branded Mobile Apps

Provide residents with a professional, branded mobile app that serves as their primary source for municipal information. With our municipality-branded mobile app, residents can access news, events, emergency alerts, service information, and more—all under your municipality's brand. This creates the "information at their fingertips" experience that Clay County's Laura Christmas described.

Code Enforcement Software

Our Code Enforcement software streamlines case management for municipalities of any size. Code enforcement officers can manage cases, track violations, and communicate updates directly with residents from a centralized platform—reducing the communication burden on your PIO office while maintaining transparency.

Online Permitting & Licensing

Reduce permit-related inquiries to your communications team with our Online Permitting Solutions. When applicants can track their permit status online, they're less likely to call your office asking for updates. The system handles the status communications automatically, freeing you to focus on strategic communications initiatives.

Integration Capabilities That Matter

As Sanford discovered, integration with existing systems like Lucity can be a game-changer. Our platform is built to work with your existing technology stack, not replace it. We'll work with you to ensure GOGov complements your current tools and workflows.

Outstanding Support When You Need It

As both Marco Island and Biscayne Park noted, our customer service and implementation support set us apart. We understand that communicators need quick answers—that's why our team is responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to your success.
