Wisconsin Digital Government Summit

"Since the start of the Wisconsin Digital Summits, I have strongly encouraged local government attendance. Our Director of Administration has been so impressed with the quality of the Summit that he has referred to it as "the best $25 training investment a government entity can make". The quality of the breakout sessions has improved so much year after year, that I am having a difficult time, this year deciding which sessions I can afford to miss."

~Michael Biagioli, Information Technology Manager / CIO, Waukesha County

Mark Allen, 6-Time World Champion, Ironman Triathlon

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.
