Ohio Digital Government Summit
Featuring: The Ohio Privacy and Security Summit on Day 2

"I am excited that Ohio will host the Digital Summit with Government Technology again this year. We are expanding the conference to two full days, with the second day designated as the Ohio Privacy and Security Summit. This will allow us to devote more time to the vital issues and challenges facing all levels of government throughout the state. I look forward to building upon my first year as Ohio's Chief Information Officer, and the Summit offers a great opportunity for collaboration and sharing of solutions. I encourage you to take advantage of this great educational opportunity and join me at the expanded Summit."

Woody Norris, Inventor and Futurist

Woody Norris is a visionary. He looks into the future, gathers insights into how life could be improved, and applies what he finds to the problems of today. In the world of invention, only one in 2,000 patent applications actually issues as a patent, the rest are rejected. Yet Woody holds more than 50 U.S. patents and 300 around the world - and the number grows each year. He has won numerous awards including the prestigious $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize, which is the inventor's equivalent to an Academy Award. He is perpetually in the midst of multiple wide-ranging projects, all of which involve technology. Early poverty and the lack of a college education were never barriers to Woody. He has always found ways to innovate by using technology to "do more with less". In this fascinating keynote, he will describe why he is convinced that the future holds unimaginable wonders in store for us. His enthusiasm is infectious, and as he often says, "It's a great time to be alive!"

Steal This Idea! - Government Edition

Paul Taylor, Ph.D., Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government

Information Technology is a daunting challenge in the best of times, and it is even more difficult today as governments face tightening finances and diminishing revenues. Under such circumstances, the smart thing to do is look for opportunities to borrow ideas from other jurisdictions who have demonstrated savings of time and money in solving major service delivery challenges. But where to look? There are 94,731 city, county and state governments across our nation. This fascinating session provides - at a pace not unlike a 3-day tour of Europe - the best of hundreds of nominees and dozens of winners from the Center for Digital Government's intensive national surveys of best and emerging practices in the public sector IT community. Be prepared to borrow an idea... or 10.

Situation Room: Name That Threat!

How quickly can you identify a security threat? Hackers, viruses, phishing, social engineering, denial of service - the list can seem endless. Fortunately, a threat loses its potential for harm once it is identified and understood. Therefore, the key to cyber survival is spotting a threat before it wreaks havoc, and better yet, prevent it from happening in the first place. This session takes the audience through a variety of situations and simulations with the goal of raising awareness and reducing reaction time.

Moderator: Jack Mortimer, Government Technology magazine

Sol Bermann, Chief Privacy Officer, State of Ohio

Bob Maley, Chief Information Security Officer, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Elayne Starkey, Chief Security Officer, State of Delaware

Privacy in America

Peter Swire, Professor of Law, Moritz College of Law, Ohio State University, and Senior Fellow, Center for American ProgressWhen Peter Swire served as the Clinton administration's Chief Privacy Counsel, USA Today called him "perhaps the most important national voice on privacy issues". Today, he is universally recognized as one of the world's leading privacy experts. In our generation, there are few issues more important than privacy, which is at stake not only from the demands of homeland security but also from the very nature of technology itself: the Internet, digital records, open systems, video cameras, mobile devices, identity theft, ad infinitum. The issues and trade-offs must be understood before a point of no return appears on the horizon. In this thought-provoking and eye-opening session, Peter challenges us to take a fresh look at how to assess the rights of citizens in a rapidly changing world.
