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:
Though few would admit it, their most faithful and intense relationship in life just might be with their mobile devices. According to research, the average user keeps their favorite device within reach every waking minute, including the workplace. Should you bite the bullet and go with the flow or buck the trend by clamping down? BYOD and Mobile Device Management don't have to be a contradiction in terms. This session takes a look at the pros and cons of joining the BYOD movement.

Description:
Legacy applications have two things in their favor: they work (mostly) and they're fully paid-for (usually). Unfortunately, they weren't designed with current technologies in mind and maintenance can be problematic at best. Today, there are numerous options to bring applications up to speed: migration, re-hosting, re-engineering or even complete replacement. This session looks at current thinking about how, when and why to modernize.

Description:
Transparency and open government continue to be two of the top priorities in government. Citizens increasingly expect government to be more accessible and accountable, and government in turn is growing more willing to accept (and even embrace) public participation and oversight. This session discusses trends, standards, benefits and lessons learned in opening up new doors for public access.

Description:
Government organizations are under attack and the stakes have never been higher. Threats are increasingly sophisticated and better organized while at the same time agencies are contending with new means of access, including social media, mobile apps, cloud computing and open government. This session looks at the elements necessary to defend against threats, prevent attacks and protect sensitive information.

Description:
Getting the attention of citizens in today's 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 - doesn't 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 today's ultra-competitive and uber-noisy environment.

Description:
A surprising 25% of Internet users in the U.S. are mobile-only, and 120 million citizens now own smart phones. This is actually good news for government because mobile services are a relatively cheap and easy way to significantly increase self-service interactions. This session looks at some of the most innovative, successful and groundbreaking apps being used today and how they came to exist.

Description:
The problem with today's data is that there's too much of it, too many kinds of it, and it comes in too quickly to be fully utilized. But it should be viewed as a golden opportunity to attain information and insights that were previously beyond reach. This session discusses trends, strategies and technologies that not only cope with big data but make it work for you.

Description:
As applications age and organizations grow, there is an inevitable buildup of high-maintenance, low-performing, redundant applications. An asset is not an asset if its costs exceed the value it delivers or if its usefulness is marginal at best. This session focuses on current trends and strategies for measuring, assessing and passing judgment on the health of existing applications.

Description:
The IT landscape is changing, particularly for managers. Specialization is rapidly becoming a thing of the past as technology evolves too quickly to permit skills to stagnate. Trends like mobility, cloud computing, social media, cybercrime and outsourcing are all game-changers. Generational differences also come into play. This session focuses on identifying, developing, recruiting and retaining the skills needed by tomorrow's IT workforce.

Description:
Outsourcing and insourcing aren't necessarily "all or nothing" propositions. Rightsourcing is finding the right balance. There is no doubt that staffing will be a major issue for years to come due to impending retirements, shortage of IT workers, rapidly changing technologies and limited budgets. This session looks into strategic sourcing for IT operations, not just with industry but government partners as well.
