Federal Mobile Computing Summit: Digital Government Strategy II

It has been 18 months since the Digital Government Strategy was released on May 23, 2012. Since then, Federal agencies have made significant progress — with an unprecedented level of collaboration between agencies. The next 18 months will be equally as important.

The Federal Mobile Computing Summit: Digital Government Strategy II will be held on Friday, March 7, 2014 in Washington, D.C. and feature government leaders who played an instrumental role in the development of the DGS and worked on the resulting deliverables. These IT thought leaders will examine the mobile landscape over the next 18 months – and beyond.

Rob Palmer (DHS), Mark Norton (DoD) and Tom Suder (AMARC) will Co-Chair this informative and collaborative government symposium, which will include a Technology Showcase featuring the latest in cutting-edge mobile technology from leading innovators.

A variety of mobility topics to be discussed: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Mobile Application Store (MAS), Mobile Device Management (MDM), as well as the security policies and legal guidance surrounding these technologies. In addition, panelists will discuss potential Digital Government Strategy II areas such as: Commonality of Enterprise APIs, Mobile-First/Mobile-Only Policies, Mobile Transition Planning, and Mobile App Certification Processes similar to FedRAMP.

On Thursday, March 6, the day prior to the Mobile Summit, several interactive mobility events will be held: MITRE-AMARC Mobile Collaboration Symposium; AMARC Technical Session: Federal Mobile Application Vetting; and AMARC Workshop: Developing a BYOD Framework. The day will conclude with the AMARC Collaboration Reception, which is open to all government registrants, as well as Technology Innovators.

The complete agenda can be found on Mobile Summit Web site.

Host organization: Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center (AMARC). The AMARC mission is to optimize the delivery of government services through the utilization of mobile communications technology, expand academic research capabilities within government organizations, and promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) training at academic institutions.
