9:15 am Eastern	Keynote – Leading on the Edge Banquet 1 – 4 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 Eastern	Break Banquet 5 – 8
10:45 am Eastern	Concurrent Sessions Data Science and Analytics – It’s A Whole New Ballgame Meeting Room 201/202 The sports world might get the most publicity but virtually every industry is being revolutionized by big data and analytics. Government is no exception but just like Moneyball, groundbreaking success requires stepping outside the box, adopting a new mindset, and embracing new tools and approaches. This session explores ways to make analytics pay off big in your organization. Tiziana Galeazzi, General Manager, Department of Technology, Management & Budget, State of Michigan (@tizianagaleazzi) Yogesh Muthuswamy, Industry Director, Public Sector, Enterprise Solutions, US and Canada, Unisys View Presentation Here Poor Man’s Disaster Recovery Meeting Room 203/204 We’re living in a hybrid world: cloud, mobility, self-service, automation, “as a service”, big data, centralization, etc. Nothing is simple and straightforward anymore, and disaster recovery can get lost in the shuffle – particularly when budgets are tight. This session looks into practical and affordable strategies for ensuring continuity across the board. Chris Christensen, Director of Infrastructure Protection, Department of Technology, Management & Budget, State of Michigan Aliea DeFazio, Cloud Client Executive, CDWG Wesley Kennedy, Systems Engineer, SLED North Central, Nutanix Jako van Blerk, Chief Information Officer, Macomb County Agile IT Meeting Room 101/102 Conventional project management, software development and service delivery models are deliberate and orderly, emphasizing rigorous specification and planning. Today, however, our consumer-centric society is pushing the pace of development and response, leading to far shorter windows and putting a strain on traditional methodologies. This session looks into current thinking about how, when and why an agile approach is the right way to go. Moderator: James McFarlane, Director of Agency Services, Department of Technology, Management & Budget, State of Michigan Amitava Chatterjee, Vice President, Strategy & CIO Advisory Services, Reliable Software Resources (@RSRIT) Jim Hogan, Information Officer, State of Michigan Nitish Mukhi, Senior Manager, Digital Government Practice, Deloitte View Presentation Here Service Delivery Innovation Meeting Room 103/104 The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Integrated Service Delivery strategy is aimed at reforming how the Department interfaces with residents through technology and making the service delivery system more focused on each person’s needs.

Join this session to learn about the service delivery innovations the State of Michigan is using to support a more holistic, proactive, and collaborative experience for residents in the future.

1:00 pm Eastern	Featured Speaker – Exponential Government: The Future of Public Service Banquet 1 – 4 Patrick Moore, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government ex·po·nen·tial (adjective): becoming more and more rapid. The world we knew 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. Exponential Government presentation: View Speaker Presentation here
2:00 pm Eastern	Break Banquet 5 – 8
2:30 pm Eastern	Concurrent Sessions Workforce of the Future: How to Re-train, Recruit, Retain and Survive Meeting Room 201/202 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. Not to mention the breakneck pace of technology itself. This session discusses what’s at stake and how to best prepare for the challenges ahead. Moderator: Phil Bertolini, Deputy County Executive, Chief Information Officer, Oakland County Kristin Centanni, Director, State and Local Practice, PwC (@kritinc) Rob McCurdy, Interim Chief Information Officer, Michigan State University Andrea Ragan, Executive Director, Capital Area IT Council Security in the Age of the Internet of Things Meeting Room 203/204 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a series of billions – soon to be trillions – of sensors and devices connected to one another via the Internet. Most of it is automated, and the possibilities that IoT brings to society are the stuff of science fiction. But it’s all very real, and the question on many people’s minds: Is government ready? This session explores emerging trends, developments and strategies for doing battle on an entirely new cyber front. Paul Groll, Deputy Chief Security Officer, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, State of Michigan View Groll Presentation Here Terry Hect, Chief Security Strategist, AT&T Wallace Sann, Chief Technology Officer, Public Sector, ForeScout Technologies (@wsann) FOIA Today Meeting Room 101/102 FOIA requests and e-discovery have always been challenging at best, and they’re not getting any easier in light of today’s myriad data sources such as surveillance videos, body cams, sensors and social media. The keys to survival are knowing current regulations, setting smart policies, implementing open data strategies and using the right data management tools and technologies. This session discusses the latest trends and best practices. Jean Ingersoll-Gough, Assistant Administrator to Director and CIO, Department of Technology, Management & Budget, State of Michigan Jennifer M.

9:15 am Eastern	Featured Speaker – Communicating the Right Way – It’s Not Just What You Say, It’s How You Say It! Banquet 1 – 4 Anthony Huey, President, Reputation Management Associates (@anthonyhuey) Communication skills are constantly being judged by others, often subconsciously.

You will learn how to reduce nervousness, craft a message, answer tough questions, master your material, use PowerPoint correctly, interpret body language, engage your audience, and much, much more.

10:15 am Eastern	Break Banquet 5 – 8
10:45 am Eastern	Fast Track Sessions Banquet 1 – 4 Cognitive Technologies Cognitive is defined as intellectual activity (i.e., thinking, reasoning or remembering). In other words, what humans do. Cognitive technology thus means “able to perform tasks that only humans used to be able to do”, and it’s a science that is advancing exponentially. Are we in danger of becoming irrelevant? Not at all. Cognitive-based systems, such as IBM Watson, are designed not to replace us but to extend our cognition and free us to think more creatively. This session provides an introduction to a technology that has enormous potential and implications for government and society. Tim Paydos, Vice President, Public Sector Analytics, IBM Privacy vs. Security: Do We Have to Choose? It’s been said that the debate between privacy and security is over, and privacy lost. Fortunately for us, that’s not quite true. But there are pressures pushing us in that direction, including transparency, public safety and consumerization. An astounding amount of our personal information is in the hands of third parties, including government agencies. This session ponders one of the hottest issues of our times and what it means for the public sector. Sol Bermann, University Privacy Officer, IT Policy and Compliance Strategist, University of Michigan View Presentation Here Project Green Light Detroit’s crime-fighting Project Green Light is proving to be quite a success story in high-risk areas. It feeds high-resolution video directly to a real-time crime center at Detroit Public Safety Headquarters, and local businesses are lining up to fund it. This session showcases a shining example of how public/private technology partnerships can benefit a community by creating a safer environment and improving the quality of life.
