10:45 am Mountain no DST	Concurrent Sessions Securing Arizona Gilbert Room (1st Floor) Government organizations are under attack and the stakes have never been higher. Threats of all types are increasingly sophisticated and better organized. In order to secure the state against those threats, the State of Arizona’s Department of Administration recently completed a statewide security assessment. The assessment resulted in a 16-point plan to strengthen the state’s cybersecurity effort. This session will walk through the collaborative process behind this bold effort to align Arizona’s security. Mike Lettman, Chief Information Security Officer, Department of Administration - Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology Office, State of Arizona Randell Smith, Chief Information Security Officer, Information Security & Privacy Office, City of Phoenix Lean Transformation Sundance (1st Floor) The State of Arizona is undergoing a revolution of empowerment by encouraging each employee to take ownership and apply a “Lean lens” to every aspect of their work. Impressive results are being realized. Learn about how the state rolled out a program driving Lean principles. The session will also cover the outcomes realized by the program one year later. Sudhakar Adda, Deputy Chief Information Officer, Department of Environmental Quality, State of Arizona Louis Dettorre, Deputy Commissioner, Arizona Department of Real Estate, State of Arizona Eric Jorgensen, ‎Motor Vehicle Division Director, Department of Transportation, State of Arizona Robert Woods, Director, Government Transformation Office, Department of Administration, State of Arizona Internet of Things and Its Impact on Government Curtis B (2nd Floor) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a series of billions – soon to be trillions – of sensors and devices connected to one another via the Internet. Most of it is automated, and the possibilities that IoT brings to society are the stuff of science fiction. But it’s all very real, and the question on many people’s minds: Is government ready? This session explores the role of government in using, exploiting, controlling and surviving the hyper-connected world of IoT. Tony Gillespie, US Public Sector Strategist, ForeScout Technologies, Inc. Ryan Gordon, IoT Specialist, Smart Grid & Smart Communities, Verizon Wireless Prasad Puta, Director of Enterprise Technology Services, Department of Administration - Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology Office, State of Arizona Building the Workforce Curtis A (2nd Floor) In a recent survey of CIOs about the challenges they are having in building and maintaining their workforce, one CIO wrote: “Hiring and retaining remains a challenge in government. What are the most effective classification and qualification models that will help hire top contributors in the future? HR has not kept pace by defaulting to simple resume reviews, emphasis on education and certification, and interviews that reward verbal communication more than other attributes.” This session will focus on what’s working and what strategies are being developed to help mitigate workforce challenges in government IT organizations. Cory Davis, Managing Partner - Business Solutions, Public Sector at Verizon Arlynn Godinez, STEM Pedagogic Content Knowledge Expert, Maricopa County Education Service Agency Roseann Osborn Perez, IT Division Manager, Infrastructure Technology Center (ITC), Maricopa County Department of Transportation Wyatt Sterusky, Continuous Improvement Manager, Maricopa County

1:00 pm Mountain no DST	Featured Speaker – The Science of Success Regency Ballroom C/D Catherine A. Sanderson, Ph.D., Manwell Family Professor of Life Sciences, Amherst College Many people focus on the importance of cognitive intelligence in predicting academic and professional success. But a growing amount of evidence suggests that other traits – including the ability to control impulses, manage adversity, find internal motivation, and build relationships – are essential in achieving the best outcomes in both personal and professional relationships. Professor Catherine Sanderson will focus on the importance of so-called emotional intelligence (or EQ) in predicting success, and will provide specific strategies for increasing your own EQ.
2:00 pm Mountain no DST	Networking Break Regency Ballroom A/B
2:30 pm Mountain no DST	Concurrent Sessions Cloud Ecosystems Gilbert Room (1st Floor) The paradigm has already shifted, and just about every organization has ventured into the cloud in one way or another. Some attempts have been more successful than others, some models (public, private, hybrid) have proven more viable than others, and some procurement approaches have fared better than others. The state is now kicking things into high gear with their “cloud first” strategy. This session focuses on lessons learned, practices that work and pitfalls to avoid to help the state achieve that goal. Dimitris Karabinis, Director, Consulting, Global Infrastructure Services, CGI Jason Simpson, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Administration, Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology, State of Arizona Julian Soh, Principal Azure Architect, Microsoft Corporation (a Tangent partner) Extending the Firewall and Fostering a Security-Minded Culture in Your Organization Sundance (1st Floor) Every member of an organization plays a critical role in protecting security and compliance.

Curtis B (2nd Floor) Government by nature is in the data collection business, and there is no shortage of information from which to extract actionable insights. The challenge for agencies is to reinvent how they leverage the vast amounts of information they already collect. Groundbreaking success requires stepping outside the box, adopting new mindsets, and embracing new tools and approaches. This session focuses on how to make analytics pay off big in your organization. Deepak Mohapatra, Global Industry Leader, Government Industry Solutions, IBM Mike Wilmot, Data Platform Architect, Public Sector, Microsoft Organizational Continuity and Recovery Curtis A (2nd Floor) Disruptions are an expected part of business, so it’s important to be prepared for when they occur. Business continuity planning helps organizations to better understand what is most important to continue in times of disruption, to identify the resources required to keep these important business functions and services running, and to develop strategies for how to achieve it. This session will discuss how having a practiced plan for recovery enables organizations to take practical steps to become more resilient and to be able to minimize the impact of any disruptive event. Frank J. Grimmelmann, President & CEO/Intelligence Liaison Officer, Arizona Cyber Threat Response Alliance (ACTRA) Paul Schaaf, Special Agent, FBI Phoenix Division

9:10 am Mountain no DST	Keynote – Expectations of a Constantly Connected Generation Regency Ballroom C/D Michael Hakkarinen, Instructional Technology Specialist, Utah Education Network (@edtechakk) Technology is transforming society in fundamental ways as new generations grow up using portable digital devices, often before they can even walk or talk. In this 24/7 online world, we take connectivity and engagement for granted, evolving into a digitally divided society. The haves and have nots, the online and the disconnected, the technically savvy and the digitally discouraged. From millennials to baby boomers, the differences between our generational expectations are growing to a point where a "fear of the young" can sometimes emerge. In this session, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that IT professionals face, and ask the difficult questions necessary to bring our culture together in a truly connected environment.

10:45 am Mountain no DST	Fast Track Sessions Regency Ballroom C/D Budgeting and Procurement: A New Approach Technology procurement can be a long, expensive – and sometimes painful – endeavor for everyone involved. The outcome of decisions can also be a mystery to the teams who then deliver projects. It doesn’t have to be that way though. This session lifts the curtain on government procurement and discusses new tools, collaborative and rapid procurement approaches and how to incorporate them. Joel Munter, State Wide Procurement Group Manager, Technology & IT State Procurement Office, Department of Administration, State of Arizona View Presentation Here How to Build a Digital City: Digital Engagement & Communications Strategy Every government entity is unique and each has their own barriers when engaging via digital communications.

Learn best practices that align communications and IT departments to best connect and serve citizens.
