Dustin Haisler - Featured Speaker

Chief Innovation Officer, e.Republic

Dustin Haisler is the Chief Innovation Officer for e.Republic. As the finance director and later CIO for Manor, TX, a small city outside Austin, Haisler quickly built a track record and reputation as an early innovator in civic tech. A member of Code for America’s original steering committee, Haisler pioneered government use of commercial technologies not before used in the public sector – including Quick-Response (QR) barcodes, crowdsourcing and gamification. In 2010 Haisler launched Manor Labs, a website that let residents submit their own ideas and vote other peoples’ ideas up or down. The most popular suggestions went to city officials for review and possible implementation. Haisler looked to the private sector to help broaden the adoption of these and other civic innovations, joining California-based Spigit as director of government innovation. While at Spigit, a company that makes crowd-sourcing and innovation management software, Hailser helped design and deploy innovation programs for New York City; Bogota, Columbia; and even part of the space program (through NASA’s Langley Research Center).
Notably, Haisler helped design and launch one of the first government open innovation programs in the United States in 2010, which received global recognition as a new model of citizen engagement and innovation. Among other first-in-nation innovations, Haisler architected a Crowdsourcing Master Land Use Plan (Harford County, MD) and patented a crowd-based business process (Crowd-as-a-Service). Named a Government Technology Top 25 Doer, Dreamer and Driver in 2009, his work has been featured in Wired, Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, Inc. and the Today Show on NBC. An in-demand speaker, he has given two TEDx speeches – one on Disrupting Government (TEDxAustin) and the other on Disrupting Education (TEDxLivermore).
As Chief Innovation Officer, Haisler has a strategic role to help shape the company’s products, services, and future direction. Primarily, he leads e.Republic Labs, a market connector created as an ecosystem to educate, accelerate and ultimately scale technology innovation within the public sector.

Agenda

Wednesday, June 29
8:00 am Central	Registration and Morning Refreshments Atrium
9:00 am Central	Opening Remarks Missouri/Capitol/Truman Room Rich Kliethermes, Acting Chief Information Officer, State of Missouri
9:15 am Central	Keynote – Leading on the Edge Missouri/Capitol/Truman Room Manley Feinberg, World-class Climber, Adventurer and IT Leader (@manleyf) IT officials often struggle to deliver more value under tightening constraints and rising expectations. Throw in the complications of regulations, a changing workforce, constantly evolving technology, plus the chaos of day-to-day life, and you are facing some serious challenges. It can feel like you’re walking too close to the edge, and the old adage “Don’t look down!” applies just as much to a tough deadline as climbing the sheer face of El Capitan. Manley Feinberg has tackled and conquered impossible environments – from breakneck corporate expansion to nature’s most hostile terrains. In this unforgettable keynote, Manley reveals his 8 Vertical Lessons that will enable you to lead, contribute and inspire in ways that will take you – and your teams – to bold new heights.
10:15 am Central	Break Atrium
10:45 am Central	Concurrent Sessions Cloud Smart vs. Cloud First Lincoln Banquet Room The paradigm has already shifted, and just about every organization has ventured into the Cloud in one way or another. Some attempts have been more successful than others, and valuable lessons have been learned by both government and private industry in recent years. Understanding and anticipating risks, limitations, scope and accountability are critical to success. This session explores the factors to consider before going “all in” (or even partway!). Eric Peffer, Principal Consultant, World Wide Technology, Inc. Michael Shepard, Cloud Business Development Manager, Cisco Systems Dealing with the Data Deluge Jefferson Room B Big data, the Internet of Things, video, social media, et al., are pushing organizations to reinvent how they handle, leverage and secure information. Unless the right foundation is in place, the vast potential of Big Analytics remains largely untapped. It’s all about data readiness, which hinges on adroit and astute data management. This session looks at creative practices and strategies to manage and protect existing data across the enterprise. Jeffrey J. Beard, Esq., GRC & IG Leader, Information Integration & Governance Practice, IBM Analytics, IBM Wallace Sann, Public Sector Chief Technology Officer, ForeScout Technologies, Inc. Crisis Management Jefferson Room A Somewhere within every organization, a crisis is waiting to happen. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year or even in five years; you can’t be sure what the crisis will be or when it will strike. But you can be sure that it will put your organization’s (or your own) hard-earned image and reputation up for grabs. This session discusses how to prepare for the worst, control the flow of information, and emerge relatively unscathed from a crisis situation. Moderator: Dan Ross, Executive Director, Missouri Municipal League John Gillispie, Associate Vice President, Enterprise Application Services, University of Missouri System Kent Hillman, Director, State Data Center, State of Missouri Rick Powell, Client Site Manager, Regional Justice Information Service Everyone Loves Maps! Jefferson Room C Two centuries ago, a massive project was undertaken to map the subcontinent of India. It took 40 years. The same project could now be done in mere seconds. Today, with satellite imagery, plentiful geospatial datasets, and a veritable explosion of location-aware devices, it’s possible to find just about anything, anytime, almost anywhere on earth. The potential impact on government services and analyses is unlimited, as are opportunities for fruitful collaboration. This session takes a look at trends, technologies and possibilities. Joan Evans, Information Technology Director, City of Jackson Matt Gerike, Geospatial Information Services Manager, GIS Office, City of Columbia Stuart Harlan, Information Systems Division, Department of Transportation, State of Missouri
11:45 am Central	Lunch Missouri/Capitol/Truman Room
12:35 pm Central	Featured Speaker – Exponential Government: The Future of Public Service Missouri/Capitol/Truman Room Dustin Haisler, Chief Innovation Officer, e.Republic (@dustinhaisler) ex·po·nen·tial (adjective): becoming more and more rapid. The world we’ve known is changing at exponential speed. The iPhone has eclipsed the Blackberry, mobile devices are displacing PCs, the cloud is radically challenging long-held assumptions about data centers, and the Internet of Things is redefining connectivity. What we regard as state of the art today will look quaint tomorrow as exponential technologies unlock individual, organizational, and societal potential. Along the way, people get scared, old organizational models crumble, and legacy cost structures stop penciling out. Understanding these shifts and how they differ from previous shifts is imperative. This session provides a tour of the meta-trends that are reshaping our communities – demographics, economics, methods of work, customer expectations and the relevance of governmental institutions — all annotated with real world examples. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of what Exponential Government will look like, how it will act, and why your actions today can lead you to a preferred exponential future and a more perfect union.

1:30 pm Central	Break Atrium
1:50 pm Central	Concurrent Sessions The Future of Computing Lincoln Banquet Room Are data centers dead? Not by any means. But the ground is shifting under the weight of trends such as XaaS (anything as a service), software-defined data centers, and hyperconvergence (i.e., integrating compute, storage, virtualization resources, networking, and other components). This session takes a look at some new technologies and approaches that are challenging conventional paradigms. Dale Musser Ph.D., Chief Technology Advisor, Reynolds Journalism Institute and Associate Teaching Professor, Computer Science Department, College of Engineering, University of Missouri Michael Roberts, Senior Systems Engineer, Nutanix (@robemich) Security in the Age of the Internet of Things Jefferson Room B A hundred years ago, consumers were just starting to get familiar with electricity, telephones, refrigerators, stainless steel, washing machines and zippers. Those were glory days for technology, but no more so than today. Technology continues at a mad rate to insert itself ever more deeply into our lives and privacy, and that makes security an absolute nightmare – if we’re not prepared. This session takes a look at emerging trends, developments and strategies on the cyber front. Terry Hect, Director, Chief Security Strategist, AT&T Mahesh Patel, Sr. Manager., M2M/IoT Product Management, Business Solutions, US Cellular Michael Roling, CISSP, Chief Information Security Officer, State of Missouri Workforce of the Future – How to Recruit, Retain and Survive Jefferson Room A The average Baby Boomer is now 60 while the average Millennial is around 25. This has enormous implications in the public sector workplace, not the least of which is an incalculable loss of institutional knowledge. But it goes beyond a brain drain; it also encompasses an influx of entirely different attitudes, expectations and knowledge. This session discusses what’s at stake and how to best prepare for the challenges ahead. Moderator: Karen Miller, Associate Commissioner, Boone County Charlie Herbst, Associate Commissioner, Cape Girardeau County Manley Feinberg, World-class Climber, Adventurer and IT Leader (@manleyf) Rich Kliethermes, Acting Chief Information Officer, State of Missouri

3:10 pm Central	Fast Track Sessions Missouri/Capitol/Truman Room A Smart City in Action Kansas City is already a trend-setting city in embracing new technology, but now they’re on the brink of something truly special. The U.S. Department of Transportation has named the city as a finalist in the Smart City Challenge. The winner receives $40 million to become the country’s first city to fully integrate innovative technologies – self-driving cars, connected vehicles and smart sensors. In this session we will get the inside scoop on how Kansas City is defining what it means to be a smart city. Bob Bennett, Chief Innovation Officer, City of Kansas City Citizen-Centered Service Design Often the service design of government can seem large, complex, and just plain confusing to the average member of the public. This session reveals new strategies by a federal digital services agency known as “18F” to improve the citizen experience by redefining how government builds new products and services. Brad Nunnally, Experience Design Lead, 18F The Untapped Potential of Gamification With ‘gamification’ reaching buzzword status in private industry, more government agencies and institutions are exploring how to use game thinking and game mechanics to solve problems and fuel engagement. This session takes a look at some creative strategies being used by Columbia College that could inspire government organizations to remake their own relationships with customers – citizens, students and employees – into something more stimulating.
