What: G-CON: The Gartner Government Conference - The Advancement of Government through Technology
When: May 3-5, 2004
Where: Washington D.C. at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel
Details: Gartner has created G-CON exclusively for government representatives to provide insight into government challenges and solutions to those challenges.
In the United States, government agencies are expected to spend $90 billion on information technology in 2004. Government success is inhibited by other challenges the private sector do not face such as highly visible competitive bidding requirements, the need for intergovernmental collaboration, political drivers, limited ability to recruit and retain top talent, and the sheer volume of stakeholder needs that must be addressed.
G-CON will provide attendees with:
- Independent content from Gartner's senior analysts covering Infrastructure, Management and Processes, Solutions, and Vision and Emerging Technologies
- Best-of-breed vendors with solutions covering enterprise architecture, security, governance, human capital management, project management, portfolio and asset management, application integration, web services, biometrics, outsourcing, wireless technologies, SCM , and eGovernment applications
- Insight into what's new and what works for government
- Advice on how to get IT funding within your organization
- Panelist Michelle D'Auray, CIO of the Government of Canada and other IT government leaders
- Keynote address from Harvard Business School professor and author, Clayton Christensen
