Speakers

Opening Keynote - Find Your Voice

Jim Meskimen, Master Impressionist and Communication Coach

Today’s culture emphasizes the value of teamwork and collaboration, sometimes at the expense of the individual. This is particularly true in the IT arena where you can sometimes find yourself stereotyped, or even worse, not taken seriously by potential stakeholders. What good are insights and solutions if your words get lost in the crowd? You need to make sure that you’re heard! Jim Meskimen has spent the past 30 years studying the most famous, creative and interesting people in modern times. In this fascinating and hilarious session, Jim discusses – and illustrates – the traits and methods used by some of the best and most charismatic communicators in the world. Don’t settle for being “one of the crowd”. YOU have a unique identity. YOU have a voice!

Speaker Bio: A professional actor for over thirty years, Jim Ross Meskimen appeared in the films Apollo 13, The Grinch, Frost/Nixon, The Punisher, There Will Be Blood, and many others. Some of Meskimen’s TV credits include recurring roles on Parks & Recreation, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friends, Whose Line is it, Anyway?, Lie to Me and Rules of Engagement. In 2011, the Australian Today Show dubbed Meskimen, “The World’s Greatest Impressionist.” His viral Shakespeare in Celebrity Voices has over a million views and subsequent viral videos have cemented him as a major YouTube talent. He can be seen currently in Impress Me, an original half-hour comedy that originated as a successful web series. Meskimen lives in Los Angeles with his actress wife, Tamara. Their daughter Taylor is also a performer. His mother is beloved actress Marion Ross, who played Mrs. C in the long-running ABC comedy Happy Days.

Keynote – Communicating in a Crisis - 30 Years of Work Destroyed in 30 Seconds

Anthony Huey, President, Reputation Management Associates

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 a crisis will put your organization’s (or your own) hard-earned image and reputation up for grabs. Learn how to control the flow of information and communicate with the media, stakeholders, bosses, peers and other audiences during a crisis.

Speaker Bio: Anthony Huey has 20 years of experience in editorial management, media relations, marketing communications and business strategy. His career roots started in magazine journalism and evolved into an executive speech coach, crisis management specialist and media relations consultant. Anthony owns Reputation Management Associates, one of the nation’s leading communications training and crisis consulting companies.

He has assisted various Fortune 500 companies, including Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Eli Lilly, Ashland Inc., and hundreds of other companies and organizations across North America.

General Session – Breach! When Bad Things Happen to Good People (and Their Organizations)

Cyber security is the new front line of financial crime and social upheaval. It is the new Wild West, with hackers divided among the "white hats" and "black hats." Stage coach and bank robberies of old have been replaced by heists of personally identifiable information from major retailers, insurers and governments. Political protests are increasingly taking the form of denial-of-service attacks by so-called “hactivists” to disrupt the normal order of things. Such things can and do happen anywhere, and everybody has a role in preventing, preparing for, and responding to cyber threats. This interactive session unpacks key lessons and learnings from real-life cases with the help of a panel of local experts and engaged audience members.

Statler Room One question about security is very easy to answer: "Are we 100% digitally secure?" The answer is always "no," of course. There are no absolutes, and that's particularly true for security. But there are ways to tilt the odds in your favor. This session focuses on evaluating the latest threats, gauging risk factors, shoring up defenses, and maybe even sleeping a little better at night. Kevin Burns, Chief Information Security Officer, MassIT, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Eric C. Dunham, Information Technology Security & Business Continuity Consultant, HUB Technical Leveraging Networks and Automation across the Enterprise Arlington Room Odds are that you’re currently wrestling with the inability of your existing networks to keep up with the escalating demands of big data, mobility, cloud, transparency, security, “as a service”, et al.

This session explores possibilities in automation, virtualization and software-defined networks.
