XChange Public Sector also completed a Channel@Work project with The Boys & Girls Club of America.  With the support of key sponsor ServiceKey, the Channel@Work program helped the children build a garden at The PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP Boys & Girls Club in St. Augustine, Florida as part of the newly founded Garden Club Program.  The garden will have fruits, vegetables and flowers that club members will have an opportunity to care for and watch grow.  As a result, the children have an opportunity to share the fruits of their labor with locals in the area, friends and family.

"As one of the only industry events dedicated to the unique dynamics of the public sector IT channel, we are thrilled this year to offer the most compelling content and dynamic speakers yet," said Robert DeMarzo, Senior Vice President of Strategic Content, Everything Channel.
