11:15 am – 12:15 pm Pacific Ballroom		The Education System And Our Country's Future Technology Competitiveness American business leaders warn of the dire consequences of high dropout rates and lack of native science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. They call for deeper investments in STEM education and more open labor laws to ensure an ample supply of knowledge workers and technology innovators. Yet critics, pointing to the unemployment stats and the rise of offshore outsourcing, say employers are overstating the extent of the "tech talent shortage" and the need to invest in STEM skills. What, if anything, must be done? Our panel of top technology company CEOs tackle these critical issues.

12:30 am – 1:45 pm Pacific Ballroom		Keynote Luncheon: The Future Of Software Luncheon Host: Pitney Bowes For many years, the traditional model of on-premises enterprise applications allowed companies to manage their expanding operations via ERP, synchronize their supply chains, engage more effectively with customers, and administer their workforces more effectively and at lower costs. At the same time, however, that model brought a voracious appetite for resources, training, administration, and precious IT budget dollars swallowed by 22% annual maintenance fees. Over the last several years, as the pace of global business has accelerated and IT has moved from the back office to front-office engagement with customers, cracks in the traditional model have appeared as alternative providers with alternative approaches to enterprise software have begun winning the wallets of CIOs. In this luncheon session, we'll chat with the leaders of some of those new-wave companies and a renowned enterprise applications analyst to understand the value propositions of these new models, their limitations, and their impact on the traditional on-premises model that has dominated the scene for the past couple of decades. Panelists: Aneel Bhusri, Co-Founder & President, Workday Christopher Lochhead, Senior Strategy Advisor, SuccessFactors, & former CMO, Mercury Software Seth Ravin, President & CEO, Rimini Street Ray Wang, Partner, Altimeter Group Moderator: Bob Evans, Senior VP & Global CIO Director, InformationWeek
