Thursday, November 7
8:00 am Pacific	Registration and Morning Refreshments Spruce Ballroom
9:00 am Pacific	Opening Remarks Fir Ballroom James Weaver, Director & State Chief Information Officer, Washington Technology Solutions, State of Washington
9:15 am Pacific	Keynote Fir Ballroom What’s Your Story? Kelly Swanson, Strategic Narrative Specialist IT is an adventure. Or should be! Every project is a journey, and we need to be better at promoting what we’re doing and accomplishing by painting pictures that resonate. Data alone is not enough anymore. It’s already over-used, mis-used, abused and fake-newsed. The key is wrapping your data in a way that makes people care. You need the secret ingredient that is probably missing from presentations, pitches, speeches and any situation where you are trying to move the needle. In this mind-expanding session, you will find out how to go from manipulating to motivating, from communicating to connecting, from telling people what to do to making them want to do it. Learn from the master!
10:15 am Pacific	Networking Break Spruce Ballroom
10:45 am Pacific	Concurrent Sessions The Rise of Ransomware Fir Ballroom In just a few years, ransomware has become the most profitable activity for cybercriminals and the number one nightmare for computer users. Organizations are getting better at securing their networks, but cybercriminals are simply changing tactics and targets. It seems like every day there is a new report of an attack. This session offers a current look at the most feared and notorious cyberthreats and how to minimize your vulnerability. Vinod Brahmapuram, State Chief Information Security Officer, Office of CyberSecurity, Washington Technology Solutions, State of Washington Barry Jones, Consulting Solutions Architect, World Wide Technology, LLC 5G and Smarter Communities State Room The way we do business is about to change as the next generation of wireless is on its way. Basically, 5G is the solution for dealing with the Internet of Things – millions of sensors and the resulting flood of information. 5G promises to change the way we live, work and play. Hyperbole or real? What will this mean for the Smart Cities movement? How will this enhance support for first responders? This session discusses why 5G is a game-changer for the future and how to be ready for its arrival. Ted Bailey, Cooperative Automated Transportation Program Manager, Multimodal Development and Delivery, Department of Transportation, State of Washington Rick Woidyla, Manager, Business Development and Strategic Planning, Smart Communities, Verizon Becoming Citizen-Centric Rainier Room People don’t expect the public sector to be just like Uber or Lyft, but they are accustomed to a certain level of ease when it comes to buying and receiving goods and services - typically through a click of a button on their smartphone. In this fast-paced world and a soaring demand to be customer-centric, how does government keep up? This session dives into why standing still isn’t an option and why it’s critical to drive forward with innovative citizen experience strategies in mind. Moderator: Viggo Forde, Director of IT and Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, Snohomish County Jason Civjan, UX Team Manager, Academic Experience Design and Delivery, UW-IT, University of Washington Stephanie Otto, Senior Director of Innovation, Cask Mark Ronaldson, Sales Manager, Amazon Web Services The What, When and How of Data Warehousing Olympic Room Technology in every discipline is evolving rapidly but none quite as fast as the revolution happening today in data: storage, warehousing, real-time processing, serving and machine learning are bringing incremental improvements of 10x and even more. Agencies using old techniques, tools and resources can find themselves falling behind the curve. This session provides a dive into the world of modern data. Miles Ward, Chief Technology Officer, SADA
11:45 am Pacific	Lunch Fir Ballroom
12:45 pm Pacific	Featured Speaker Fir Ballroom Future Ready! The Playbook for 2020 and Beyond Morgan Wright, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government The magnitude and speed of technological, economic and societal change is accelerating at an exponential pace. Your primary challenge is to anticipate the future – and then build it, being careful to optimize the upside while minimizing the effects of the shocks and stresses. Public leaders need more than just a new way of thinking – but a new way of executing supported by the right technological and cultural foundation. Future Ready focuses on what matters and why, what potential issues should be on your radar and the adaptive, actionable takeaways that you can work on today to prepare for 2020 and beyond, including. Disruptive technologies Emerging regulatory issues Resident and employee experience Future of management Funding the future View FutureReady Presentation Here
1:45 pm Pacific	FirstNet Fireside Chat Fir Ballroom Al H. Gillespie, President, Executive Fire Consultants, President, FirstNet Association Public safety is undergoing a significant transformation and technology is at the heart of it. The transformation affects all areas of government, from education to transportation to frontline public safety. This session explores the intersection between public safety ecosystems and the technology revolution that is here – today.
2:10 pm Pacific	Networking Break Spruce Ballroom
2:45 pm Pacific	Concurrent Sessions Driving Change at Scale Fir Ballroom The previous session, Future Ready, discussed why this is the Age of Acceleration and how technology will impact our IT organizations in the years ahead. The game-changers are clear: cloud, automation, virtual reality, cybercrime, grey tsunami, citizen expectations, digital divide, etc. Will they beget opportunities or breaking points? It’s all in the preparation. This interactive session furthers the discussion about how and why our IT organizations must evolve to meet – and embrace – the challenges ahead. Jason Koenders, Network Consultant, Ciena Lewis McMurran, Co-Manager, Future of Work Task Force, Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, State of Washington Public Records, Private Risks State Room Our democracy was built on the premise that the business of government must be public. Governments have done a pretty good job of it historically, but the digital age has put old standards on shaky ground. Laws and policies are still on the books that relied on the “firewall of inconvenience” because it was so laborious to dig up private information. But now, technology makes it easy. Governments store far more personally identifiable information than any other entity, and the risk of exposure is growing exponentially. This session brings to light some serious questions that must be answered - and soon. View Session Handout Here Moderator: Will Saunders, Acting Chief Privacy Officer, Washington Technology Solutions, State of Washington Nancy Krier, Assistant Attorney General for Open Government, Office of the Attorney General, State of Washington Sean Krier, City Clerk, City of Olympia Michael Marty, Chief Information Officer, Office of the State Auditor, State of Washington Future of Identity Management Rainier Room On one side there's open government, shared services, single sign-on and demand for easy access. On the other side there's security, access restriction and identity management. It can turn into quite a stalemate. But there's still hope that both sides can emerge victorious. This session looks at strategies, tactics and technologies that make it feasible to control access in an increasingly open environment. Sami Laine, Director of Technology Strategy, Okta Audrey Leckner, Secure Gateway Services Manager, Computing Services Division, Washington Technology Solutions Sponsor Briefing Olympic Room (Industry sponsors only) This informal discussion is hosted by the Director and State Chief Information Officer James Weaver. The focus will be on strategies, priorities, opportunities and the procurement process.

9:15 am Pacific	Featured Speaker Fir Ballroom The Ethical Implications of Black Mirror: Why We Need AI Transparency Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has the power to amplify human ingenuity, extending our capabilities to help solve the biggest business and global challenges. When made accessible to everyone, AI will transform industries, make us more productive and help us enrich the customer and citizen experience. As technology increasingly becomes part of the products and services people use at work and at home every day, the power of AI technology must be balanced with a responsible approach, applying ethics to address societal impacts and build trust. In this talk we will explore episodes from the popular Netflix show Black Mirror and how Design Thinking can be used to ensure that the very worst (as evidenced in the show) does not come to pass.
