Overview

Government Technology’s passion is helping spread best practices and spurring innovation in the public sector. The Indiana Digital Government Summit is designed to do just that. The summit has an advisory board that gathers public sector and private sector leaders to create an agenda designed to make that passion relevant and actionable to the state and local government organizations attending the summit. Participants tell us they use the inspirational keynotes, leadership discussions, networking breaks, and timely topics discussed in the numerous breakout sessions to help advance the goals of their organizations and their own career paths.

Topics Include:

Optimizing the Workforce and Workplace of Tomorrow
Smarter Communities and IoT
Next Generation Analytics
Declaring Indiana the First Spatially Enabled State in the Nation: Challenges and Opportunities
Changing the Citizen Experience
Mobile 1st
Turbulence Within the Cloud

A message from our Keynote Speaker

The Indiana Digital Government Summit is a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with fellow government employees, whether they work on the state or local level. The panel discussions and keynote speakers from industry leaders and those outside of traditional IT lead to a feeling of reinvigoration and offer a great learning experience. The best part of the Digital Government Summit though, is meeting and exchanging ideas. All of us face similar problems and we can turn to each other to look for solutions, instead of re-inventing the wheel. Each year I learn new things from the industry partners and from local government representatives and look how it can be applied for the state. I look forward to seeing you there!

- Dewand Neely, Chief Information Officer, State of Indiana

10:15 am Eastern	Networking Break Ballroom Pre-Function
10:45 am Eastern	Concurrent Sessions Optimizing the Workforce and Workplace of Tomorrow Porter State and local government organizations are increasingly challenged to attract and retain IT staff. Retirement, private sector competition, changing technology portfolios and evolving workplace expectations are beginning to stack up against traditional government workplace practices. Questions about mobility, collaboration spaces and tools are becoming common during the interview process and government is not always prepared to offer competitive answers in today’s fluid and highly-competitive job market. This session offers a look at what some innovative organizations are doing to scrap outmoded practices and embrace new paradigms. Geoff DePriest, Director, Office of Technology Services, State of Indiana Bob Zapotocky, Manager, IP Application Strategy, Global Public Sector, Government & Education, AT&T Smarter Communities and IoT Miller It’s clear that smart technologies and IoT are the future of our communities. Is government ready for billions – soon to be trillions – of sensors and devices connected to one another that will transform our society? This session explores some innovative “Smart Applications” currently being implemented as well as what’s on the horizon, how to cope with what’s coming, and most importantly, how to secure it all. Rhonda Binda, Vice President, Director of Regional Smart Cities Initiatives Olin Clawson, General Manager & CEO, Lawrenceburg Municipal Utilities Leah Lehman, Director of Analytical Solutions, Industry Products, SAS Terri Randall, Economic and Community Development Leader, One Dearborn, Inc. Next Generation Analytics Hart More and more government organizations are looking to advanced analytics to streamline procedures and processes. The latest trend is to focus on enhancing the customer experience by using next generation tools, including predictive analytics, text analytics, geospatial analytics, big data analytics, data visualization and more. This session explores ways to leverage data to drive smarter decisions, faster responses and better service.

Panelists will also describe appropriate measures of success. Moderator: Jim Sparks, Geographic Information Officer, Office of Technology, State of Indiana Tarek Rashed, Ph.D., Senior Research Professor and Director of Geoinformatics, Plois Center, IUPUI Phil Worrall, Executive Director, Indiana Geographic Information Council, Inc.

12:45 pm Eastern	Featured Speaker – Expectations of a Constantly Connected Generation Clark/Dawson 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 and a new "fear of the young" has emerged. In this session, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that IT professionals face, and ask the tough questions necessary to bring our culture together in a truly connected environment.
1:30 pm Eastern	Networking Break Ballroom Pre-Function
1:50 pm Eastern	Concurrent Sessions Laying the Foundation for Smart Cities Porter Municipalities across the country are taking on smart city initiatives with a focus on citizens. The best strategy for any smart city initiative starts with laying a strong foundation and building in security and privacy from the beginning. This session will provide you with a multi-step roadmap and key considerations for building your smart city game plan. With the right infrastructure, state and local governments can realize smart city goals such as stimulating economic development, improving quality of life, increasing public safety, encouraging citizen engagement, and implementing initiatives such as smart buildings, smart infrastructure (water, heat, transportation, power) and smart services. Daniele Loffreda, Senior Advisor, Industry Marketing, Ciena Mobile 1st Miller Whether it’s a public facing or internal mobile app, the most convenient device is the smartphone stashed in a purse or back pocket. So today, it’s a business necessity to deliver your applications across all platforms while paying special attention to the mobile crowds. This session will provide tips and tools to ensure your design is easily and readily accessible across all different platforms and, most particularly, on the much smaller screen of smartphones and tablets. Scott Davis, Senior Webmaster, Department of Natural Resources, State of Indiana Sloane Wright, General Manager, Indiana Interactive, LLC Turbulence Within the Cloud Hart Cloud service adoption and use continues to ramp up for government agencies. But do you know what the major security, compliance and data considerations are before agreeing to and using a cloud service?
