Opening Keynote: What's Next In Federal IT
As fiscal belt-tightening continues, government IT leaders must find new, innovative ways to make their agencies more agile and efficient. Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel is pursuing a series of initiatives to help them do that, including the "shared first" model and a national strategy for mobile devices and applications. In this conversational keynote session, the Federal CIO talks about the challenges ahead and his priorities for the coming fiscal year.

Thinking Like A Startup
Many government agencies find themselves on the wrong side of the technology gap, running software and systems that are a generation behind what's available in the private sector. How might they do things differently if starting from scratch? The newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau did it and shares tips that apply to other agencies, too.
