OPENING KEYNOTE – "LET'S BUILD A SMARTER PLANET: GREEN AND BEYOND"
Presented by: Ed Abrams, VP Marketing, IBM General Business
Discussion: Over the past few years, a whole new world has emerged – one with volatile energy supplies, more greenhouse gas awareness, global financial crises – that makes sustainable business practices more important than ever. Businesses, governments and people everywhere are more concerned about efficient use of energy and natural resources. They are investing in making systems intelligent by building smarter and greener electrical grids, supply chains, information technology (IT) infrastructure and water systems. Governments around the world are placing clean tech or green collar jobs at the center of their economic stimulus packages. And while environmental impact tops the list of corporate responsibility concerns, it is just one of a number of issues on the list of sustainability concerns, including health, food and energy. Mr. Abrams will share with you different ways companies around the world have implemented smarter and greener systems. |

"FROM VIRTUALIZATION TO CLOUD COMPUTING – REAL CHALLENGES, REAL OPPORTUNITIES"
Presented by: Brent Wall, CIO, Consonus Technologies
Panelist: Conrad Cross, CIO, City of Orlando
Discussion: CIOs and IT leaders are under ever-increasing pressure to improve the agility and cost effectiveness of their IT services. While Virtualization has been proven to deliver results in these areas, Cloud Computing currently dominates the industry "hype engine" and promises even greater levels of agility and cost effectiveness. In this session, we will separate Cloud Computing hype from reality, review challenges and constraints associated with evolving Cloud Computing models, and address the opportunities to leverage Cloud Computing technologies and services provisioned within your own internal IT environment as well from "the Cloud". |

LUNCHEON KEYNOTE - "STRATEGIC BUSINESS VIRTUALIZATION – CREATING AN ADAPTIVE ENTERPRISE"
Presented by: Jack Wilson, VP Enterprise Architecture, Amerisure Mutual Insurance Co.
Discussion: Any organization has to be dynamic in order to survive, let alone excel. You simply can’t be stagnant, but there are a lot of forces within your organization struggling hard to maintain the status quo. It is one of the areas in the organization that by its very nature has to evolve forcing change within the organization. In the best cases IT can become a revolutionary force to drive an organization to examine what they do, why they do it, and is it effective? It’s not easy, but it is what separates progressive IT leadership from stagnant IT management. |

"OPTIMIZING IT PERFORMANCE, REDUCING COSTS AND INCREASING RELIABILITY THROUGH SELECTIVE SOURCING"
Moderated by: Amy O'Connor, VP, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Panelists: Craig Neeb, CIO, International Speedway Corporation
Discussion: When an enterprise relies on outsourcing for select components of its IT operations, it is critical that the service provider employs an efficient delivery model. Such a model encompasses an ITIL based, process-driven yet adaptable approach that delivers maximum performance along with reduced operating costs. The foundation of an efficient service delivery model is the interconnection of tools, resources, and processes. This session will focus on selective sourcing, an alternative to traditional outsourcing, from an industry and practitioner point of view and discuss how customers are leveraging the benefits of this unique approach to increase the efficiency of their IT operations, align IT with business strategy and reduce support costs by as much as 20-50%. |

"UNDER THE HOOD: A LOOK AT HOW THE SECRET SERVICE WORKS WITH ACADEMIA TO UNDERSTAND AND KEEP PACE WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGY, AND HOW IT APPLIES THIS UNDERSTANDING TO COMBAT TECHNOLOGY-BASED CRIME"
Presented by: Thomas Dover, Supervisory Special Agent (ATSAIC), US Secret Service
Discussion: The Secret Service has been investigating technology-based crimes since the late 1980’s. In the beginning, most investigations required simple retrieval of digital evidence in a forensically sound manner from standalone computers. This requirement changed radically in the late 1990’s as cyber-criminals began to take advantage of computer networks to perpetrate network-based crime. As a result, the number of cyber-investigations rapidly increased along with the use of the internet as an increasingly popular means to commit cyber-crime on a global scale. So too did the number of requests from the business community for law enforcement assistance with countering increasingly sophisticated attacks against company networks.
The Secret Service soon realized that its technical investigative expertise could not keep pace with ever-emerging technology and the scope and speed at which cyber-criminals were able to adapt new technology to the commission of cyber-crime.
To counter this challenge, the Secret Service established permanent liaison with the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Through its ‘Resident Affiliate’ the Secret Service has been able to leverage the research, knowledge, skills and abilities of over 150 CERT computer scientists, engineers and researchers in an effort to keep abreast of cutting edge developments in information technology and the use of such technology by cyber-criminals. |

"A SMARTER APPROACH TO ARCHIVING"
Moderated by: Craig Rhinehart, Director, Product Strategy, Compliance and Discovery, IBM
Panelist: Laurence Leong, Program Director, Compliance
Discussion: Archiving is now a mandate, requiring a smarter approach beyond point solution limitations and costs. Many organizations are struggling with issues such as: How do I even identify what information should be archived?

How do I deliver Information Compliance in a consistent, defensible and cost effective manner? This session will address best practices regarding a smarter approach to archiving and a way to avoid "keeping everything". |

Panelists: Nancy Schulte, CIO, PODS
Molly Mahoney, Sr. Manager Shared Services, Attorneys Title Insurance Fund
Kevin Winter, IT Director, Schenkel & Schultz, Inc.
Robert Keefe, SVP & CIO, Mueller Water Products
Discussion: This discussion will focus on the opportunities, perspectives and mandates associated with developing a "personal leadership style" in today's challenging and chaotic economy. Our intent is to investigate with panelists a number of different questions: Why is leadership development and in particular, a strong personal leadership style more important today than ever? How has the experience of gaining a personal leadership perspective translated into the way you execute your corporate role today? What is it about the process of “getting there” that surprised you the most? What would your peers and subordinates say is different about your leadership practices today? How do you view the difference between leadership and management? Why should organizations spend the money to develop leadership capabilities today? How does a "personal leadership style" integrate the concepts of a moral compass?
