Off Balance on Purpose
Dan Thurmon, Author and Peak Performance Coach
Life is an off balance proposition. Achieving balance – a perfect symmetry – is an unrealistic objective. You will never get there! Life is in constant motion, and priorities and resources change all the time. That’s why we need to embrace and initiate off balance moments in order to successfully engage life in all its aspects. In this dynamic keynote address, Dan Thurmon uses highly visual and creative means to demonstrate that “off balance” is how we learn, grow, excel and fully experience what is happening around us. It’s tough out there right now. The question is: Are you thrown off balance in response to your world or are you off balance on purpose?

Smart Government
In a financial crisis, it is more important than ever to get the most out of limited resources. Tough times call for smarter ways to serve, manage, maintain and support customers, constituents and facilities. To meet the challenge, government agencies are getting collaborative, innovative and more willing to think outside the box. This session reveals some innovations and approaches that are breaking the mold and making people take a fresh look at what is and isn’t possible.
Frieda Yueh, Strategic Trends and Directions, Public Sector Solutions, IBM
Data Protection Strategies
Government agencies are tasked with securing a seemingly endless variety of information and services at the same time that there is intense pressure to make government more “open” and mobile. All this adds up to the biggest set of security and privacy challenges ever faced by government applications, whether internally or in the “cloud”. This session looks at the latest technologies, strategies and solutions for assessing and preventing vulnerabilities.
Paul Laurent, Senior Sales Consultant, Oracle
Jeff Shipley, Cisco Security Research & Operations Analysts Manager, Cisco
Emergencies and IT
In the recent years, we have had numerous opportunities to witness (or contend with) the effects of massive snow storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, epidemics, terrorism and cyber threats. This session takes a look at strategies, technologies, applications and lessons learned that can help prepare the Commonwealth for a variety of potential crisis situations.
Stephen Chapman, Solutions Engineer, Sprint Nextel

Social Networking in Government – Worth the Risk?
Government is changing. Pressures are mounting to adopt Web 2.0 tools in order to be more inclusive, open, transparent and...sociable. These tools and approaches (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wikis, et al) offer tremendous power for relatively little investment but at the same time they raise a host of issues and challenges – and plenty of risks. This session discusses the “how, what, when and where” of Web 2.0 and whether it’s really possible to safely ride the wave.
Moderator: Jack Mortimer, Government Technology magazine
Rama Dhuwaraha, Chief Information Officer, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government
Eddie Smith, Director of IT, University of Louisville College of Business

1:40 pm Concurrent Sessions
Citizens of Tomorrow – Demands and Expectations
Technology is transforming government (and society) in fundamental ways as new generations grow up using technology not only for convenience but also as a central and indispensable part of their lives. Needless to say, this puts pressure on government agencies to keep up with the times. This session takes a look at tomorrow’s citizens and how their customs and expectations will affect the practice of government.
Alec Chalmers, Director, National Government Solutions, Adobe Systems Incorporated
Rene True, Executive Director, ConnectKentucky
Mobile Applications and Services
We live in a wireless world and the demand will continue to grow exponentially in the years ahead. Where is the industry headed? What new capabilities are on the horizon? How will mobile applications change the way that government does its business? This session focuses on the future of wireless tools, technologies, applications and next generation connectivity.
Carlos Mariosa, Senior Manager, Government Solutions Practice, Industry & Mobility Application Solutions Group, AT&T
Unified Communications
Unified communications (UC) can help organizations increase employee productivity, improve customer service and reduce costs by integrating multiple forms of communications - including telephony, e-mail, instant messaging and video - across a variety of networks. This session takes a look at opportunities, strategies and benefits for government organizations.
Don Rumford, Systems Architect, Avaya

Communities, Classrooms and the Future of the Internet
Communities and classrooms that are connected to the global information network have the best chance of sustaining economic growth and bridging the educational divide. New technologies, applications and infrastructures make the possibilities almost limitless. This session takes a look at innovative ways to improve our schools, colleges and communities through the use of technology and improved access.
Paul Riebock, Vice President, Government and Sales, NetMotion (on behalf of Verizon Wireless)
eDiscovery and Electronic Records Retention
In this era of open government, the guiding principle is that information and digital records, including various forms of electronic communications, are most definitely public assets. The impacts of eDiscovery, FOIA and public records laws on IT systems and policies – already overburdened – are increasing dramatically. This session looks at current laws, emerging standards and sensible practices.
Mark Myers, Electronic Records Archivist, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Commonwealth of Kentucky
Health IT: The Changes Ahead
The development of a robust health information infrastructure continues to be a key to improving the quality and cost of healthcare, and federal mandates will soon accelerate the process. Any strides that are made in solving the complex issues of health IT will surely benefit all government agencies in solving their own challenges, especially with regard to privacy and security. This session discusses current developments and the changes that lie ahead.
Kathy Frye, Chief Information Officer, Cabinet for Health & Family Services, Commonwealth of Kentucky
Sandeep Kapoor, Technical Consultant, Office of Administrative and Technology Services, Commonwealth of Kentucky
