Taking place October 22-23, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C., these three events are being co-located to provide comprehensive educational and networking opportunities for government and industry in one location.

Ms. Cureton will speak on the opportunities and threats on the horizon for cloud, cyber and mobile technologies during her keynote address, titled “Cloud, Mobility and Security, Oh My!” opening the conferences. On day two of the joint conferences, Ms. Meyerriecks will discuss the intelligence community’s (IC) direction with cloud and mobility in the keynote session, “Cloud Apotheosis.” Robert Carey, Principal Deputy Chief information Officer at the Department of Defense (DoD), will be presenting in conjunction with Debora Plunkett, Information Assurance Director at the National Security Agency (NSA) on the second day of the conference series. The two will discuss the current threats surrounding cloud and mobility, and suggest solutions to these problems in the session, “Security Policy Changes for Today’s Threat Environment.”

“These conferences are specifically focused on the government sector of the technology market and its future trends,” said Daniel McKinnon, Vice President, Government Events, 1105 Media, Inc. “It is only fitting that we have government leaders charged with implementing policies on cloud, cybersecurity and mobility to address their peers, sharing their knowledge and experience.
