Presented by:
- Tim Gard - Author, Speaker Hall of Fame member

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 doesn't 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 it's 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. It's never too late to change the game.

Description:
The forecast is certain: the cloud is hanging overhead and is pretty much unavoidable. The only remaining questions are how, when and to what extent it should be used by government organizations. Clearly, some cloud services are more appropriate than others. This session explores what's new in the cloud and who's using it successfully - and safely.

- Anthony White - Security Product Sales Specialist, State, Local Government and Education, Cisco Systems, Inc.
|
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 how to embrace the trend while still maintaining control and security.

Description:
If there is a silver lining to tough times, it's that it's easier to break down barriers and promote collaboration. So it's no surprise that current conditions are motivating government organizations (and even industry partners) to get more creative in sharing systems, applications, information and services. This session discusses how to achieve effective and satisfying collaborative relationships.

- Jefferson "Beak" Howell - Adjunct Professor, LBJ School of Public Affairs, University of Texas, and Former Director of NASA's Johnson Space Center

Description:
The Johnson Space Center is NASA's center for spaceflight training, research and mission control. Its workforce of 15,000 includes a hundred astronauts, hundreds of scientists and thousands of engineers. It is perhaps the most exhilarating organization in the world - and at times the most daunting. Lieutenant General "Beak" Howell was the Director of the Space Center when the worst imaginable thing happened: the Columbia shuttle explosion in 2003. It was a demanding test of leadership, but one that Beak was uniquely qualified to meet after a career of profound - and often astounding - experiences. In this fascinating session, he shares the challenges and lessons learned that led to his legendary "Beak's Rules of Leadership".

Description:
Rapid advances in mobile technologies are causing fundamental changes to social 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.

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 unstructured 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.

Description:
The desktop and its interfaces haven't changed all that much for a couple of decades, but some exciting new trends are being driven by a variety of factors, including virtualization, mobility, storage, cloud computing, green technology, maintenance, cost control and overall security. This session takes a look at where the desktop is headed, along with technologies that will lead the way.
