Description:
We are facing difficult times. The pressure to do more with less, deliver to deadlines, and respond to increasing expectations has in many cases created an epidemic of stress and dysfunction. Everything seems so serious, and to Tim Gard this is not an acceptable way to work and live. Although he is one of the funniest men in America, Tim doesnt make light of serious situations; he shines light on them to reveal previously unseen possibilities. He points out that everyone smiles and laughs in the same language, and finding humor when its most needed can be the very best way to boost morale and restore a creative atmosphere. After all, life is a game or should be! It all depends on how one looks at things. By shifting your perspective, you can change your experience and the experience you create for others in a real, tangible, and valuable way. Its never too late to change the game.

Description:
The boom in consumer technology means that everyone now owns devices that are probably far more powerful and useful than those provided by the workplace. So its unrealistic to expect that people wont use them for work-related functions to at least some degree. This session discusses how to embrace the trend while still maintaining control and security.

Description:
More than 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years and is expected to grow a staggering 50X within the next decade, driven by an explosion of non-traditional data such as social media, email, sensors, videos, maps and photographs. This presents an enormous challenge to infrastructure but at the same time opens the door to unprecedented opportunities for mining useful information. This session focuses on trends, strategies and technologies.

Center for Digital Government
If you had to describe the IT industry with just a single word, that word would be change. Change is the one thing perhaps the only thing about technology that never changes! This session takes an educated and candid look around the corner to answer burning questions such as:
What is the private sector doing that was not the case two years ago?
How is the IT industry changing?
How do these changes translate into government and when?
How will government stay relevant in a digital society?
Where will customers push you as a service provider?
Where should you be pushing your customers and how?
What realities might change the direction of your organization?
This multi-media session, based on research by the Center for Digital Government and interviews with visionaries in both sectors, explores current and potential game-changers and how to get ready for what lies ahead.

Description:
Rapid advances in mobile technologies are causing fundamental changes to social and workplace interaction, resulting in an overwhelming demand for mobile solutions and applications. But flexibility comes at a price, and the plethora of devices and platforms means that one size does not fit all. This session discusses approaches and strategies that deliver the broadest impact with the least distress.

Clearly, some cloud services are more appropriate than others. This session focuses on Georgia to explore whats being done in the cloud and whos using it successfully.

To ensure that we have the skills and abilities needed to deliver complex solutions in rapidly changing environments, we must rethink our traditional approaches to the IT workforce. This session takes a looks at the challenges ahead.
