Description:
In a fast-changing world, everyone is an explorer whether they know it or not, particularly in government IT. We are constantly traveling across uncharted terrain: the economy, social media, the cloud, and on and on. Was Steve Jobs any less of an explorer than Ferdinand Magellan? They definitely had one thing in common: they always looked forward and rarely looked backward. The spirit of exploration and adventure lives on, now more than ever, because technology makes it possible for anyone to be an explorer in their own right. In this fascinating and rousing session, noted explorer Josh Bernstein shows us how to turn one's career into an adventure and the survival skills needed along the way.

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 it's unrealistic to expect that people won't use them for work-related functions to at least some degree. This session discusses whether it's possible 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.

In most of the world, including our own country, the gap between haves and have-nots is growing at an alarming rate. Without equal access to information and education, the gap will never close. This fast-paced session examines four technology trends that are making a difference: high speed broadband access; ubiquitous wireless; fiber-rich smart communities; and MOOCs (massive open online courses).

Description:
Getting the attention of citizens in todays world is a challenge, to say the least. Government organizations can struggle in vain to get their messages heard through the blare of a social media culture that enables anyone to have a voice regardless of credibility. Ordinary government speak no matter how critical to your audience doesnt stand a chance. What if being considered cool could help government reach and retain a much broader public? Or even help you personally communicate better to your leadership, staff or peers? Learn the art of the cool factor and how to communicate with style. In this lively and eye-opening session, Kristy Fifelski (aka GovGirl) shows us how to stay visible and relevant in todays ultra-competitive and uber-noisy environment.
