9:15 am Eastern	Keynote – Teddy Roosevelt – The First High-Tech President University Ballroom Clay Jenkinson, Writer, Historical Performer and Theodore Roosevelt Humanities Scholar Theodore Roosevelt was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. Widely regarded as the most dynamic president in history, his life story is nothing short of remarkable. Born frail and sickly, Roosevelt transformed himself into a rugged man of adventure by sheer force of will. He was also a serious intellectual who frequently read a book a day and authored 35 books and 150,000 letters. He was arguably the best prepared president in American history. But few realize that he was also the first “high-tech” president as he brought the American people, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the twentieth century. Clay Jenkinson brings Teddy to life with such authenticity that viewers may forget that he is not actually standing in front of them. The audience will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Roosevelt questions on any subject, an experience that gives a new appreciation of history and a president who was truly larger than life. Prepare to be inspired!
10:15 am Eastern	Networking Break University Ballroom Foyer
10:45 am Eastern	Concurrent Sessions How Do We Determine What Citizens Really Want? Princeton 1 In this highly interactive and fast-paced society, people are getting more demanding about, well, everything. The pressure is mounting on government to make “citizen-centric” more than a buzzword. To one degree or another, each of us is expected to wear the hat of “Chief Customer Officer”. But, how do we know what they really want? And who are “they,” anyway? This session takes a look at tools and approaches that result in meaningful – and actionable – intel about your customers. Elizabeth Caldwell, MPA, CPM, Chief Customer Success Advocate, Customer Success Unit, Office of Information Technology, State of New Jersey Casey Faiman, General Manager, New Jersey Information Division, NIC Avis Yates Rivers, Founder and CEO, Technology Concepts Group International, LLC and Co-Chair, Tech & Innovation Transition Advisory Council View Caldwell Presentation Here View Rivers Presentation Here Exploring Today’s Cyber Security and Risk Management Tactics Princeton 2 Can we ever be 100% digitally secure in this age of IoT, cloud, mobility, data-sharing, hacktivism, cyberwarfare, et al.? The answer, of course, is no. At the same time, failure is not an acceptable option for stewards of private information. What can we do to improve the odds? The first step is understanding how to manage risk. Much can be gleaned from debacles and near-misses in the public sector. This session takes a no-nonsense look at how, why and where governments go wrong. Moderator: Marc Pfeiffer, Assistant Director, Bloustein Local Government Research Center, Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University Kevin Kearns, Bureau Chief, Cybersecurity GRC, Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, New Jersey State Chris VanWagoner, Chief Strategy Officer, Commvault Dylan Williams, Practice Manager: Governance, Risk & Compliance Consulting, Enterprise Services, Ricoh USA View Presentation Here Getting Our Heads in the Cloud Penn Room The question is no longer whether to make the leap into the Cloud or not. Now it’s a matter of “how, what, when and where.” There’s a lot to consider in getting started, and valuable lessons have been learned in both government and private industry in recent years. This session focuses on the factors involved in teeing up a successful Cloud initiative. Richard Barlow, Field Chief Technology Officer, Dell EMC Lynne Gash, Contract Administrator III, Office of Information Technology, State of New Jersey The Open Data Evolution Lehigh Room In recent years, state and local governments have increasingly invested in open data initiatives. The same is true in our region. So, how are these efforts working? Extremely well! Some initiatives were recently featured in Government Technology magazine. This session updates us on how open data has evolved locally, where it’s headed and its importance in transparency, accountability and public engagement.

12:00 pm Eastern	Lunch University Ballroom
12:45 pm Eastern	General Session – Leading Your Digital Transformation University Ballroom Governors around the country have named technology and innovation as top priorities in the mission to revitalize state economies, improve governmental services and enrich the lives of all citizens. In other words, it’s time for government to get “its technology mojo back.” Private industry gets most of the glory for technological game-changers, but there may be no better home for innovative design than government. It’s a noble pursuit with nearly limitless possibilities. This session discusses how to break traditional molds and venture outside the box in transforming your enterprise through digital technologies and creative approaches. Moderator: Teri Takai, Executive Director, Center for Digital Government.

1:45 pm Eastern	Networking Break University Ballroom Foyer
2:15 pm Eastern	Concurrent Sessions The Citizen Experience Princeton 1 Uber, Amazon, Alexa, Siri, AirBnB – these are just a few of the innovations that have given rise to entirely new paradigms in customer experience. Can government do the same? Absolutely! There’s not really much choice. Sooner or later, it must be done. The good news is that it’s closer and more attainable than one might expect. This session looks at some innovative tools and strategies that will revamp and revitalize government’s relationship with its citizens. Tim Gogal, Director, Digital Transformation, Avaya Leslie Maltby, Manager, Customer Experience Practice Public Sector, Verizon View Gogal Presentation Here What’s Available in the Cloud Today? Princeton 2 Today, just about anything can be delivered via the Cloud “as a service”: software, mobile apps, infrastructure, storage, platforms, data, you name it. The possibilities and configurations are endless, as are the opportunities. But they also introduce a variety of challenges including security, access management, visibility and more. This session explores the current state of cloud computing and the options available to government organizations. Hagen Hottmann, Deputy Chief Technology Officer, Product Development, Office of Information Technology, State of New Jersey David Iannacconi, IBM Cloud Leader, North America, IBM William Sanders, Director, Cloud Platform Services and Business Development, Oracle How Data Supports Digital Transformation Penn Room Government by nature is in the data collection business, and there is no shortage of information from which to extract valuable insights. The challenge is to reinvent how to leverage the vast amounts of information to get real results. Emerging next-generation tools include predictive analytics, big data analytics, data visualization, cognitive technology and more. This session discusses how data can be tapped to drive superior decisions, smarter communities, better service and accelerated digital transformation.

9:15 am Eastern	Keynote – COLLATERAL CHANGE: Finding Balance in Our Digitally Evolving World University Ballroom Michael Hakkarinen, Instructional Technology Specialist, Utah Education Network Is there any doubt that this is the Age of Disruption? Technology is rending the fabric of society as we know it, driving historic levels of transformative change and mindboggling opportunities. But what are the consequences of this disruption on the lives of everyday citizens? The ramifications run deep, and it’s time to shift our focus from the technology to the resulting “collateral change” in human behavior. We’ve long passed some serious tipping points. This provocative session explores new communication paradigms, runaway device infatuation, generation gaps, radical education, future game-changers and creative ways to engage the “new citizen.”
10:15 am Eastern	Networking Break University Ballroom Foyer
10:45 am Eastern	Fast Track Sessions University Ballroom Blockchain 101 Blockchain is being called the next big transformative technology in government. The possible applications include identity management, contract management, financial services, licensing, electronic voting and more. There is a lot to like. This session looks into this fast-emerging technology and its potential impact on government operations. Kurt Watkins, Blockchain Advisor, Former Associate at Lowenstein Sandler Artificial Intelligence and What It Means for Government When will human intelligence be replicated by machines? It’s getting closer by the day. When it finally does happen, it might well be the most disruptive technology in the history of the human race. The science of artificial intelligence has had its fits and starts but there are new advancements that bring it several steps closer to mimicking human thought and reactions. This session offers an introduction to some exciting – and slightly unnerving – breakthroughs and their potential impact on the future of government. Vivek Mehta, Chief Executive Officer, ARInspect Pete Tenebruso, Chief Information Officer, Department of Environmental Protection, State of New Jersey Emerging Emergency Management Technologies Somewhere nearby is a crisis or disaster waiting to happen. It might be nature’s wrath or a cyberattack or a sudden social upheaval or a crazed individual. Whatever it may be, decisions and responses will have to be made at lightning speed to save lives, time and reputations. This is possible only to the degree that technology is keeping people connected, aware and collaborating no matter what the circumstances. This session looks at some innovative technologies that are making a difference. Dan Biglin, FirstNet Principal Consultant, FirstNet, AT&T View Presentation Here
