9:15 am Eastern	Opening Keynote Banquet 1 – 4 Collateral Change: Finding Balance in Our Digitally Evolving World Michael Hakkarinen, Instructional Technology Specialist, Utah Education Network Is there any doubt that this is the Age of Disruption? Technology is rending the fabric of society as we know it, driving historic levels of transformative change and mindboggling opportunities. But what are the consequences of this disruption on the lives of everyday citizens? The ramifications run deep, and it’s time to shift our focus from the technology to the resulting “collateral change” in human behavior. We’ve long passed some serious tipping points. This provocative session explores new communication paradigms, runaway device infatuation, generation gaps, radical education, future game-changers and creative ways to engage the “new citizen.” View Presentation Here

This session discusses better ways to tap your data to drive smarter decisions, faster responses and better service. View Presentation Here Joshua Baron, CBIP, Applications Delivery Manager, IT Services, City of Ann Arbor Design Thinking in Government Meeting Room 103/104 There may be no better place for human-centered design than government.

9:00 am Eastern	Keynote Banquet 1 – 4 What’s Your Story? Kelly Swanson, Strategic Narrative Specialist IT is an adventure. Or should be! Every project is a journey, and we need to be better at promoting what we’re doing and how much we’re accomplishing. It’s important to be able to paint a picture that resonates. Data alone is not enough anymore. It’s already over-used, mis-used, abused and fake-newsed. The key is wrapping your data in a way that makes people care. You need the secret ingredient that is probably missing from presentations, pitches, speeches and any situation where you are trying to get buy-in. In this mind-expanding session, you will find out how to go from manipulating to motivating, from communicating to connecting, from telling people what to do to making them want to do it. Learn from the master!

10:45 am Eastern	General Session Banquet 1 – 4 Tomorrow’s IT Workforce Starts Today Does your team have all the personnel and skills you could ever desire? Do you feel unequivocally sure that you can attract and retain the talent you need going forward? If you answered “yes” to both questions . . . well . . . no one will believe you. In the years ahead, workforce issues will rival cybersecurity as the #1 source of anxiety and lost sleep. But there’s hope! This session provokes thoughts and builds confidence as it covers creative approaches for the 2020s. Phil Bertolini, Co-Director, Center for Digital Government / Former Deputy County Executive and Chief Information Officer, Oakland County Kelly Manning, Director, Office of Performance Management, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State of Michigan Eric Swanson, Director, Center for Shared Solutions, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State of Michigan

The fifth generation of wireless network technology will be a game-changer that goes far beyond providing users with faster uploads, smoother video and quicker browsing.
