8:45 am Pacific	Keynote – The Science of Success California Ballroom AB Catherine A. Sanderson, Ph.D., Manwell Family Professor of Life Sciences, Amherst College (@CSanderson1217) 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.

10:35 am Pacific	Featured Speaker – Getting Into the Mind of a Cybercriminal California Ballroom AB Etay Maor, Executive Security Advisor, IBM Security We read about hacks and breaches on a daily basis - attacks conducted by cybercriminals that result in millions of compromised credentials, loss of millions of dollars or denial of service attacks that can almost bring the internet to a halt. But how do these underground groups conduct these attacks, where do they communicate and coordinate and what products and services do they buy and sell? In this session we will dive into the world of organized cybercrime and get into the mind of a cybercriminal. We will learn basic hacking techniques, see how easy it is to gain information on a target, and visit underground and dark web websites.

Why You Need Mentors and How to be One Orpheum Many people know that having mentors is often critical to getting your ideas heard. And getting ahead at work. We all need mentors—whether you are a director, manager or aspiring IT project leader—to provide insights and career guidance to help in our professional development and career growth. Yet, how many of us in IT have career mentors? And how many of you mentor others to build the next generation of millennial leaders? In this fast-paced and fun session, you will learn practical techniques to add the sizzle and spice in a mentoring relationship. We’ll cover how to find the right mentor—someone who cares enough to help you with sponsoring your idea, giving you the right career advice, and increasing your personal brand, network and “executive presence.” And, how you can get the most out of the mentoring relationship—whether you are a mentor or mentee.

1:25 pm Pacific	General Session – Path to Leadership California Ballroom AB How can you become the kind of leader people look up to, turn to and go the extra mile for? Research shows that leadership can be learned. You can make a conscious effort to master the habits, characteristics and attitudes shared by successful leaders. One way is to identify the leaders you admire and make them your role models. Figure out what key characteristics they have in common and then make their habits your own. Our panelists will share their path to leadership, discuss their challenges and successes, and what they wish they knew along the way.

2:35 pm Pacific	Concurrent Sessions A Shifting Focus to a Data-Centric Security Mindset California Ballroom C A few years ago, a perimeter-based data breach was headline news. Today, the same type of breach is expected by most major institutions and government agencies. It’s clear that advanced perimeter security tools like next-gen antivirus cannot provide 100% protection. Many organizations are now augmenting their perimeter tools with data-centric security solutions. We see Chief Information Officers working closer than ever with CISOs to safeguard personally identifiable information, non-public information, and sensitive corporate data. But has this truly minimized the risks? What are some of the new approaches to a data-centric security model? Join us to discuss, the role of automation and technology within InfoGov and InfoSec and explore pain points and successes in adopting a new model. Moderator: Lea Deesing, Chief Innovation Officer, City of Riverside Charles Choe, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Guidance Software/OpenText Tony Gillespie, Strategic Advisor, ForeScout Technologies Inc. George Khalil, Chief Information Security Officer, City of Riverside View Choe Presentation Here Leadership Skills Needed for a CIO California Ballroom F How can you be a successful CIO?

These unique presentations highlight individual experiences, approaches, challenges, and triumphs ultimately creating a roadmap for success as an effective leader in IT. Attendees will acquire information that can be developed into an action plan.

Gialamas, Division Director, Technical Services Division, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Attracting the Talent: Strategies to Recruit and Retain the Next Generation in IT Orpheum A millennial. A high school intern. An English major. What do these people have in common? All of them have the potential to be a part of your next generation IT workforce. With a rapidly retiring workforce facing many government agencies, a huge focus will be how and who government agencies can successfully and efficiently recruit and retain to be their next generation workforce. Our panelists will share their perspectives on the challenges and potential strategies for recruiting and retaining the 21st century IT professional in the government sector.
