Bay Area Technology Forum

"Once a year the Bay Area Technology Forum provides us with a unique opportunity to share information and learn about new technologies. These are tough times. However, despite the impact of the challenging economic conditions, we must use this crisis as an opportunity to find innovative and cost effective solutions to deliver quality IT services. Now, it's more important than ever that we come together to share our best practices and discover how IT can be used to better serve our constituents. The Forum offers the Bay Area local government IT community a unique opportunity to learn about new technology solutions from your peers and industry experts. Thank you for the support you've provided in the past and I look forward to seeing you at the event again this year."

- Chris Vein, Chief Information Officer, City and County of San Francisco

OPENING KEYNOTE

The Art of Ironman Success
Mark Allen, 6-Time World Champion, Ironman Triathlon

In Government IT today, success - or even holding on for dear life - requires great toughness, endurance and resiliency. Who better to inspire us than the man who is arguably the most successful endurance athlete of our time? As a professional triathlete, Mark won 66 of the 96 races he entered, five consecutive Ironman World Championships (a record), and another World Championship at age 37 (a record). These achievements did not come easy. In this fascinating Keynote address, Mark shares the principles that enabled him to turn devastating setbacks into historic triumphs; principles each of us can use to achieve the highest levels of success in our personal and professional lives
