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.

- Rich Reasner - Director of Cybersecurity, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State of Michigan
- Brendan Walsh - Director of Sales - Mobility Application Consultant, AT&T
|
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:
More than 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years, 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:
Private data centers have their advantages - particularly with control and security - but public and community clouds are cheaper, easier and more accessible. However, there are legitimate concerns about continuity of operations in the cloud. What happens when something fails? This session takes a look at the pros and cons of moving to the cloud and relinquishing traditional means of control.

Few areas of government benefit from collaboration, resource sharing and creative approaches as much as Public Safety. With federal funding on the wane, state and local entities are increasingly left to their own devices.

Speakers:
- Cathilea Robinett - Executive Vice President, Center for Digital Government and Government Technology magazine
|
Description:
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.

In this era of transparency and limited resources, every move has to be right. And making the right decisions consistently is simply not possible without skillful use of business analytics.

This session takes a look at the latest tools and strategies for accessing, mining, analyzing and utilizing the vast amounts of information gathered by government organizations.
