An ongoing feature of the show was the FOSELive webcast, which included reports from around the Washington Convention Center, the GCN Lab's assessments of Best New Technology Award finalists and live interviews from the Post Newsweek Tech Media Group booth, with writers and editors from GCN and other Tech Media Group publications talking with federal and industry officials.

The success of the FirstGov online portal earned the CIO Council's Azimuth Awards for two of the project's driving forces: former GSA administrator David J. Barram and Eric A.

At the awards ceremony, from left: Brewer, Treasury CIO and council vice chairman James Flyzik, Barram and FOSE general manager Bill Howell.
