2026 TAMIO Annual Conference
With Andrew Davis
Shannah,
It was fantastic speaking with you about the TAMIO Annual Conference in June 2026! I'm thrilled that you reached out after remembering my Content Marketing World session from a few years back. I'm honored to hear that you annually reread "Town, Inc." - I can't tell you what that means to me!
Thanks for spending so much time getting me up to speed on the event and the audience. I've spent some time thinking about keynote options that will inspire your members while providing practical approaches they can implement within their municipal constraints. I think either the Curiosity Factor or Digital Doppelgänger(s) would both be a perfect fit for your audience.
Below, you'll find the session description we crafted for the event as well as everything that's included in our fee. You'll also find an overview of the event experiences we've created for over 250,000 attendees in the last decade.
I'm looking forward to making the June 2026 conference a truly memorable milestone for TAMIO and the entire Texas municipal communications community!
Let's create something extraordinary together!

Keynote Session
2026 TAMIO Annual Conference
The Curiosity Factor
The psychological phenomena creative brands employ to earn and own attention in a noisy world.
Attention in today's online world is harder and harder to garner than ever before. Your citizens, community members, council members, and stakeholders tell us they have no time.
No time to read your press releases, download your municipal reports, view your community videos, dive-in to your city blog posts, or attend your public meetings.
However, these very same citizens can binge watch two seasons of House of the Dragon on HBO Max in one weekend! Where's the disconnect?
Maybe, in our quest to make our municipal communications consumable, we've eliminated every element that makes them interesting?
The most successful municipal information officers in the world don't worry about how great their content is. Instead, they apply two infinitely powerful psychological phenomena to catch, keep, and capture their community's attention.
In this exhilarating 60-minute presentation, former television producer and bestselling author Andrew Davis will show you how to keep your citizens curious. You'll be challenged to think like a reality tv editor. He'll show you the five things that brilliant municipalities do to transform their communications from boring to brilliant. More importantly, you'll learn the simple secret to creating infinitely engaging content that builds public trust and community engagement.
What's the secret? You'll have to wait and see.
Digital Doppelgänger(s)
How savvy teams are augmenting their unique talents using the magic of AI.
Artificial Intelligence feels like magic.
Draft a smart prompt, and presto! ChatGPT crafts your press releases, composes your community newsletters, and develops your public engagement strategy. You can even commission Google's Gemini to respond to complex citizen inquiries and council member questions!
AI is truly awe-inspiring.But most AI-generated municipal communications, public statements, and engagement strategies are generic at best - and nonsense at worst.
That is - until you start building your Digital Doppelgänger.
Your Digital Doppelgänger is your AI-powered civic communication collaborator. Your virtual twin. They're your brainstorming partner, confidant, writing counterpart, and strategic advisor for navigating complex municipal messaging challenges.
Your Digital Doppelgänger isn't just AI.They are IA - Intelligence Augmentation.They don't replace your public information skills.They enhance your communication talents.(Of course, they have the power to destroy too.)
In this exhilarating 45-minute session, Andrew Davis (and his Digital Doppelgänger) will show you how to build your very own AI-powered creative collaborators. He'll show you the four-step iterative process one savvy marketer uses to augment their unique writing style, saving 39 valuable working hours. You'll even witness AI's power to destroy trust and learn the only way to avoid it.
Most importantly, Andrew will demonstrate why AI can make YOU more valuable than ever in creating meaningful connections between your municipality and its citizens.
So, are you ready to create your first Digital Doppelgänger?
