9:15 am Eastern	Opening Keynote – What’s Your Story? Room 208 (Auditorium) 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!

Kevin Mahoney, JD, PhD, Practice Director, Enhance Technologies, ATP, Fortinet Marlon Attiken, Partner, Watson Internet of Things, Public Sector, Global Business Services, IBM Identity and Access Management Room 214 (2nd Floor) The security environment has grown increasingly complex due to factors such as open government, data sharing, cloud, mobility and escalating expectations by citizens and internal users – all of which open the door to an unsettling variety of risks and vulnerabilities.
