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.

This session talks about how to evaluate and prepare for opportunities that go beyond traditional concepts and boundaries.

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.

Moderator: Odysseus Marcopolus, Director, Architecture & Enterprise Technologies, Office of Information Technology, State of New Jersey
The forecast is certain: the cloud is here to stay and it's 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.

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.
