Looking Ahead: IT in 2020

Michael Rogers
Author, Technology Pioneer and Futurist

Eight years ago there was no iPhone, no YouTube, Facebook had a thousand members and a 24” LCD television cost $3000.  Today we’re on the fourth generation of iPhone, YouTube adds 60 hours of video every minute of the day, Facebook has 845 million members and that LCD television costs less than $200. 

Eight years from now, in 2020, even more will have changed—because the “virtualization of the world” has only begun.  Social media, cloud computing, advanced mobile devices, smart sensors and increasingly intelligent software will mean that more of how we work, learn, shop, play and even meet our mates will go into the cybersphere.  There are two drivers: rapidly advancing technology, plus a new generation of customers and employees who are increasingly at home in the virtual world.  What will that world look like?  And how should organizations start adapting now for the changes ahead?

Seven Trends that Will Transform State Government Through Technology – New Challenges for State Technology Leaders

Dr. Alan Shark, Executive Director
Public Technology Institute


As the name implies, this session is sure to stir up discussion and debate, as Dr. Shark lays out a vision for technology leaders at every level of government. He has interviewed hundreds of CIOs and other technology executives that have helped shape many of his thought-leadership books over the past several years. The seven trends may sound somewhat simplistic at first glance – but once one digs deeper the audience will find there is much more to the numbers including the absolute interdependence of each factor.  

2pm - 3pm

General Session

Mobile UC in a BYOD World

Pejman Roshan, Vice President
ShoreTel Mobility

Workers have embraced BYOD, and the newest generation now entering the workforce is pushing the boundaries. They grew up on technology and, to them, work is an activity, not a location. While consumers are frequently looking for the next big thing, IT departments dread constant disruption. For them, there is a certain brilliant simplicity to easing innovation into an existing paradigm so no one is disrupted from their day-to-day interactions, but in 12months(give or take)the user’s experience is radically different from what it once was.

Cybersecurity Policy Issues

Robert Mayer, Vice President of Industry and State Affairs

John Cassidy, Branch Director, Cybersecurity Programs & Initatives

There are several pieces of legislation pending at the Federal level and both industry and policymakers are trying to determine how to deal with a range of security issues that cross multiple technologies and applications such as supply chain security, mobile application and device security as more and more workers bring their own personal devices into the workplace, how to address botnets and malware, which is the topic of several working groups at the Federal level, identity and access management, and how to improve industry and government collaboration and information sharing among other issues. The purpose of this panel would be to provide an update on those developments from an industry perspective and to discuss what role government can play in helping to address cyber threats.
