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 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:
- A Pathway to Migration and Modernization
- Data Privacy & Governance
- Strategies for Smart Communities
- Incident Response
- Optimize Your Customer Journey – New Trends for Engaging Customers
- Workforce of the Future
- How Blockchain Will Impact the Public Sector
- Geospatial, Geovisual and Geofantastic!
- Autonomous and Connected Vehicles
The Indiana Digital Government Summit is a fantastic place to meet with professionals in different departments and levels of government. Though the scope of work that we deal with may be different, the challenges are generally the same. Each year, I enjoy the opportunity to hear from others in government on how they are tackling and solving problems using technology, and in the process helping Hoosiers. The keynote speakers are fantastic, and I leave with a renewed energy and commitment to public service. I hope to see you there!

Keynote – How to Break Your Personal Speed LimitsClark/DawsonLyn St. James, Motivational Speaker & Professional Auto Racer (@LynStJames) Everyone is going somewhere, but why does it always seem to take longer than we want, and why do we often get lost or distracted along the way? Lyn St. James has the need for speed, and she found her passion behind the wheel of a race car; not necessarily a fast race car in the beginning (Ford Pinto) but it set her on the road to success. After learning how to win in the Pinto, she climbed the ranks of amateur then professional racing all the way to the top...the Indianapolis 500! Accelerate with Lyn as she shares the life lessons she’s learned through her journey as a race car driver. Find your passion; believe in yourself; motivate others; make a declaration (more than a commitment); have a strategy but be willing to adjust it; learn to communicate with a team; get results then be sure to share them; learn from failure – it will happen; and be dedicated to preparation, just to name a few. Lyn’s life has been an incredible journey, from secretary and piano teacher, to Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year! Hang on and be ready to put the pedal to the metal and break your personal speed limits! |

Concurrent SessionsA Pathway to Migration and ModernizationPorterGovernment agencies are responsible for a large number of legacy environments that are slow to change. Agency leaders recognize new or enhanced applications must use collaborative and more efficient processes. This session will discuss strategies and best practices for application modernization and migration. Jeremy Chenevert, Director, Information Services, Department of Environmental Management, State of Indiana Tasker O. Generes, MCPM, Global Head of IoT Strategy, ServiceNow Elliott Patrick, Chief Operating Officer, Information Services, Indianapolis/Marion County Data Privacy & GovernanceMillerAs technology becomes more invasive in our lives, it’s said that the debate between privacy and security is over, and privacy lost. Fortunately for us, that’s not quite true. But there are pressures pushing us in that direction, including transparency, public safety and rampant consumerization. An astounding amount of our personal information is in the hands of third parties, including government agencies. This session ponders one of the hottest issues of our times and what it means for the public sector. Moderator: Graig Lubsen, Director of Communication and External Affairs, Office of Technology, State of Indiana Panelists: Ted Cotterill, Chief Privacy Officer, State of Indiana (@TedCotterill) Douglas S.

The technology drivers are well known: sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, artificial intelligence, 5g wireless, fiber networks, big data, et al. But implementation is another matter. There are a lot of moving parts. This session discusses how to define, assess, prioritize and strategize your own smart evolution.

Fast Track Sessions – Emerging TechnologiesClark/DawsonHow Blockchain Will Impact the Public SectorIf blockchain is poised to make deep inroads into private industry, it stands to reason that government is next. In fact, government might even end up taking the lead. Potential uses include identity management, licensing, financial services, contract management, electronic voting and more. There is a lot to like! This session explores why blockchain might be particularly suited to government applications, while also candidly discussing the challenges to overcome. Eugene Kipniss, Sr. Program Specialist, Center for Internet Security (CIS), Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) (@cisecurity) Geospatial, Geovisual and Geofantastic!Seeing is believing. That’s why visualization technologies – particularly geospatial tools – are indispensable components of government services. Leveraging these technologies opens the door to better planning, decision-making, economic development, citizen services and public safety. This session discusses the latest strategies and golden opportunities for all levels of government. Megan R.L. Compton, MPA, Geographic Information Officer, Office of Technology, State of Indiana Autonomous and Connected VehiclesThere are definitive moments in history when technology exceeds our wildest dreams and faces us with one realization: the future is here. For many, that moment comes with the onset of autonomous and connected vehicles. But as technology races ahead, it raises important questions about how government will implement, regulate and oversee these high-tech vehicles.
