The Urgent Case for Change
Given the shaky economic climate and subsequent federal pressure for government agencies to implement pointed, strategic initiatives, today's government CIOs are striving to do more with less. Now is the time to drive innovation-not only to inspire change, but significant and purposeful change. This Keynote Address will lay out key aspects of a successful innovation strategy.

Mobile continues to make huge strides within corporate environments as organizations provision and/or provide BYOD policies for their workforces. The ability to have anywhere, anytime access to information, work cross-organizationally, and be productive from any mobile device, were ideas that seemed so far in the future only a few years ago. Now, pilots, doctors, sales teams, case workers, lawyers, researchers and more have embraced mobility for their day-to-day work and are reaping the productivity benefits – one of the fastest technology adoption cycles ever. As this trend in mobile technology continues, companies are also facing the very immediate challenge of building-out a robust and secure mobile infrastructure, that protects their data, while not impeding on usability and productivity. In this session we'll focus on these trends and how organizations, today, are tackling the challenges by deploying a trusted mobile environment; delivering to end-users mobility needs, while meeting the organizations security and governance requirements.

Technology has evolved at a dizzying pace over the past few years transforming the world around us and the way we communicate with each other, shop, work, and play. It's only natural that constituents expect government to reflect the times. For a sector better known for lifetime employment and a slow rate of workplace change however, employing an IT workforce with the skills necessary to meet the continually evolving technology needs of government is especially challenging. Factor in the decline the US is experiencing in new graduates with technology-related degrees, the anticipated Silver Tsunami in which a large swath of our most valued employees will retire, and the looming global shortage of IT professionals, and one could say we’re about to face a genuine crisis when it comes to hiring and keeping the IT staff we need. That's why an innovative approach to recruiting, retaining, and reskilling government IT employees will be one of the most important elements to ensuring our future success.

Over the years, the fundamental role of the CIO has not changed-to provide technology services that drive business results. However, the world around the CIO is dynamic. The pace of business is increasing and more companies depend on a growing number of new and disruptive technologies to support their mission and to maintain their competitive advantage. These changes have put tremendous pressures on CIOs. Now they must respond quickly to evolving markets, think in terms of revenue objectives, and truly run IT as a business. This means they need to support greater speed, agility, and efficiency, even while ensuring quality, compliance, and security. The task is daunting. The definitive way to address these challenges is to have a holistic approach to managing the business of IT, an approach that sees the "big picture", an approach that enables CIOs to become the CEOs of their IT businesses. KPMG refers to this approach as Technology Business Enablement - enabling a more valuable and effective IT organization.

Our research paints a picture of the "work-around" worker - someone who uses their access to Internet- based services, such as webmail and social networks, to "work around" problems or frustrations they might have with their corporate email infrastructure. Over 50% of our respondents claimed to have regular problems with their corporate email inboxes, and 39% said the most significant issue was the constant struggle to keep their inboxes within its size limits.
Join us as we discuss how to identify those users, the reasons they exist and what your organization can do about them.

For local, state and federal government entities, mobility is a viable workforce option that can bring efficiencies and cost savings to the region. Service delivery and constituent concerns can be quickly managed if public service officials have a smart phone or tablet. Additionally, security of government documents continues to be a top priority, especially with the advent of mobile devices. For federal institutions, in particular, government correspondence and documents must be kept safe from hackers and data leakage. Mobile devices must be equipped with password controls, the ability to remote lock and wipe any lost or stolen tablets and stringent encryption certificates. In order to safe guard devices, a mobile device management tool must be put in place.
Join Gavin Harris, Director of Sales, AirWatch, for a roundtable discussion and learn how Pierce County, Chemring, and the US Army Core of Engineers use enterprise mobile management solutions to safeguard their networks and documents.

The enterprise is increasingly becoming a mobile experience – which includes work, home and play, all from one device – a mobile device. As our mobile capabilities enhance our schedules to work and play, we no longer compartmentalize our activities, but rather live in a virtual world where social interactions govern our productivity – or lack there-of. Given the complexity of this environment, how do we secure the data that is at our beck and call, ensure the privacy of our information, and enhance the confidentiality of our experience.

Government has long been known as one of the most difficult institutions to change. Culture, Labor Force, Regulations, Oversight, Procurement, Contracts, Funding, Risk Aversion all work against the CIO. Change is difficult but there are so many ways at initiating change from within the organization. Initiating change at all levels and searching for ways to "innovate in 5 minutes" can re-energize an organization and get your organization on the right path.

The roles and responsibilities of Public- and Private-sector CIOs in the U.S. have been found to have significant differences. Their roles has been constantly evolving since the position was conceived approximately 30 years ago. CIOs used to be in charge of technology management and implementation of new technology programs throughout the enterprise. Over the last decade, that role has changed dramatically with the implementation of technology across all levels of the organization. Today's CIO must be as socially skilled and business-savvy as a CEO, but still as well-versed in innovative technologies and implementation tactics.
This keynote session will address and discuss the following questions:

Can your leaders leverage the differences between generations? For the first time in history, there are four distinct generations in the workforce: Matures, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials…all with their own perspectives, styles, and expectations. These differences often create misunderstandings, stereotypes, and conflicts; but what worked in the past with three generations no longer works with four. Leaders know they need to get their teams past the stereotyping and through the conflicts so they can keep the focus on the work but they don’t know how. But what if leaders could leverage the differences between generations instead of just eliminating conflict?

In today's society, the establishment of a formalized Information Security Program is vital to the success and sustainability of organizations and their business and services they provide to their constituents and customers. This Program must incorporate strong governance, collaboration, and socialize IT and information security initiatives and projects targeting the end-user. All of this can be achieved based on established policies, standards, and processes. Some of the take-ways from this presentation are:

The convergence between information technology and mobile technology provides opportunities for more effective communication and more efficient management, but it also presents a range of new communications and security challenges. Understanding the advantages and challenges of mobile technology and personal smart devices is crucial. Used wisely, enterprise mobility can improve the services offered, and more powerful solutions can link you directly into the office network while working remotely, for instance to access your business/mission critical data.
This session will discuss how these new device platforms create opportunities to embrace the enterprise mobility in a controlled way, increase enterprise productivity, improve collaboration and reduce the overall mobility spending. The key to taking advantage of these opportunities is bridging the gap between the personal and protected, and securing the smart device.
