The IRS Virtual Tech Expo is hosted by the IRS Office of Small Business Programs. In addition to the added benefit of vendor presentations, this virtual event accomplishes the same purpose that past in person events held in the IRS New Carrollton Federal Building (NCFB) did:

That is, providing a forum for companies to display and demonstrate the latest products and technologies that provide mission related solutions for IRS personnel to learn about and demo.  There will be time set aside for a Virtual Exhibit Hall with live vendors.  IRS employees can speak with these vendors and learn about new products and services available to aid them in the IRS mission.  Vendors with speaking sessions can be available live during their sessions to answer questions about their presentations from IRS employees.  The presentations will be recorded and available for 30 days to registered attendees to review after the live event.

The IRS Strategic Plan is a roadmap to guide IRS operations and to meet the changing needs and expectations of our nation's taxpayers and tax professionals who serve them.

IRS Objectives from the IRS Strategic Plan:

• Modernize and integrate technologies and systems that support secure, flexible and accurate work across IRS functions.
• Safeguard taxpayer data and protect the IRS against internal and external threats, with an emphasis on cyber defense.
• Update data collection and retrieval capabilities and processes to provide faster authorized access to information.
• Improve analytical tools and data competencies across the IRS.
• Emphasize the use of data analytics, in conjunction with qualitative information, to select high-priority work
