"The economic outlook makes it more important than ever that we use information technology wisely. We must critically examine every aspect of our IT operations as we seek new ways to improve government's efficiency and effectiveness. In times such as these, business as usual is not acceptable. The Digital Government Summit will give us a chance to trade ideas and innovative solutions, and I look forward to seeing you there."

Mark Allen, 6-Time World Champion, Ironman Triathlon

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, six consecutive Ironman world championships in six starts (a record), and a world championship at age 37 (another 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.
