Keynote – Leading on the Edge

Clark/Dawson

Manley Feinberg, World-class Climber, Adventurer and IT Leader

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.

Future of IT Infrastructure

Shields

Odds are that you’re currently wrestling with the ability of your existing IT infrastructure to keep up with the escalating demands of big data, mobility, cloud, transparency, security, “as a service”, et al. The status quo is probably not sustainable for much longer. So where do you go from here and how fast should you try to get there? This session discusses modern infrastructure trends, including a presentation on the Indiana Public Cloud at Indiana University, and ways to realistically evaluate needs and objectives.

Creating a Cyber-Aware Organization

Porter

Technology alone cannot make us secure. Information security risk must be considered from the perspective of the human factor. Given the nexus of the Internet, global connectivity, technologies and human interactions, it is important to understand how human behavior influences and can create exposure for your organization. This session will focus on various risk scenarios that help us explore what influences human behaviors, how behaviors can lead to security risk, and how to create a culture of cyber security – a “human firewall” within your organization.

The Case for Open Data

Miller

Open government and transparency are often unattainable without an aggressive open data strategy. Data empowers citizens – but only if it’s valuable information and only if it’s in a form that’s easy to understand and use. So, where is the return on investment? This session looks at how to effectively use open data to streamline, improve upon, and amplify citizen relationships.

Next Gen 911

Hart

Legacy systems are all too common in government and 911 is a prime example. By most standards, it has not kept up with the technologies used in today’s wireless and mobile society. But that’s changing quickly as the industry takes steps to leverage cutting-edge technologies. This session offers a great example of how to modernize and transform a critical public service including the role of GIS in 911.

Virtual Reality in Government

Virtual reality has gone from a science fiction pipe dream to practical reality.

This session will feature some reality apps coming to a smart device near you.

Someone is Watching – Can You Manage IT?

Nearly a year after public outcry led to new laws regarding police officers’ usage of body cameras now it is up to IT departments to manage. Whether its storage, redaction or production to the public and media, most agencies are not equipped to handle the new requirements. This session takes a look at some of the technologies out there, including dash and body cams, video surveillance, and their impact on government, public safety and society.
