General Session: Fiscal Stimulus Programs Present Opportunity, Not A Gold Mine |
|
|||
|
US governments face enormous challenges, which differ for the Federal sector and for state and local government. Federal agencies have new near-term mandates to spend to stimulate the economy and address challenges in health care, energy, and education, but long run needs to live with scarcity; state & local governments face near term scarcity as the recession shrinks tax revenues, but long run growth. Both sectors will need technology to meet these challenges.
For now, the focus is on the stimulus program that will funnel $30 billion or more to tech vendors in 2009-2010. But the bigger opportunity for tech vendors will come from the ability to leverage a new generation of technology to design and build solutions to meet the needs of government agencies. The presentation will review the outlook for the government market from a tech vendor perspective in 2009 and 2010, as well as for the longer run of 2010-2016.

General Session: Recession? What Recession? |
|

|
How Obama's "Open and Transparent Government" will drive channel opportunities.
In January, President Barack Obama announced plans to issue a directive to federal agencies that will outline the steps they must take for “Transparency and Open Government.” Scores of people applauded the plan, just as they wondered what "transparency" and "open" actually meant--particularly in Washington. Come hear seasoned federal IT journalist Jill Aitoro make sense of the new administration's policies, explaining where technology fits and how channel companies can best position themselves to enable federal agencies to use, in the words of the President, “innovative tools, methods and systems to cooperate among themselves, across all levels of government, and with nonprofit organizations, businesses and individuals in the privates sector.”

General Session: The State of SLED: Government Executive Panel 2009 |
|
|||
|
If your public sector practice touches state and local government or health care --or it should--you won't want to miss this. Following a much-anticipated XChange Government Integrator tradition, we bring together a current state CIO from one of the lower 48's most challenging environments, a former CIO of two of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, and a technology officer trying to bring one of the largest states in the union to the forefront of broadband connectivity. They're all tired of stimulus pitches--it's just a little bit more complex, don't you know, than bags of of cash showing up on their doorsteps.
This is your chance to ask them questions, and find out all you ever wanted to know about the SLED spend, SLED trends and what it's going to take to get your state and local IT solutions in front of their eyes this year. Moderated by: Chad Berndtson, Assistant Managing Editor, Everything Channel Panelists include:
