    AGENDA

    8:00-8:15 a.m. Introductions

    8:15-9:45 a.m. Artificial Intelligence: How AI Will Reshape Every Business, Including Yours (1.5 hours)

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a profoundly important set of technologies that are already shaping the way we live our lives, and the ways that businesses operate. As the second era of computing, AI will have as profound of an effect on business and society as did electrification and traditional digital computers. Over the next decade, AI will transform all our lives and will reshape every industry. AI will power autonomous vehicles, smart robots, drones, virtual assistants, and chatbots. It will manage our smart cities, power sentient factories, and oversee our smart energy grids. AI will turbo-charge medical diagnosis, revolutionize customer service, and aid in the discovery of new materials and new pharmaceuticals. AI will reshape every business process, and could reshape the structure of every team. The HR Director and CIO of every company will need to become best friends as IT and HR co-own a blended human-machine labor force. Every IT person needs to understand the capabilities, limitations, and implications of artificial intelligence, no matter their level of technical acumen. This session explains what Artificial Intelligence is and how it can be used. Attendees will then review the main concepts of AI: artificial neural networks, deep learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and generative adversarial networks. Finally, the session will explore how AI may develop in the future, and how it will require a rethinking of every workflow, and every workplace.

    9:45-10:00 a.m. BREAK

    10:00-11:30 a.m. Blockchain Beyond Cryptocurrencies: Your Foundation to Create New Business Value (1.5 hours)

    Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are just one of the many applications that can be built on top of Blockchain technology. Blockchain has rapidly become a valuable platform for new value creation across a wide range of industries. Heavyweights like IBM, Walmart, Accenture, Intel, and Bank of America are all placing big bets in this area. Over the last thirty years, we have moved from the client-server era, through the cloud computing era, and now with Blockchain to the era of distributed applications. Blockchain technology removes the need for central authorities, creates trust in a trestles world, reduces transaction costs, and dramatically improves traceability. In this session, you’ll cover Blockchain basics, understand why Blockchain technology is so disruptive, and learn how distributed applications (dApps) enable a new innovation paradigm that brings with it new funding and collaboration models. You’ll then look at examples of how Blockchain is already being used to solve problems in a wide range of industries, from real-estate to supply chain, and healthcare to energy.  Be sure that you are prepared to take full advantage of the increased levels of trust, privacy, traceability, and data security made possible by Blockchain technology. Every IT person needs to understand the implications of this technology to their business.

    11:30-1:00 p.m. LUNCH

    1:00-4:00 p.m. Futurecasting Workshop (3 hours)

    In this workshop, you’ll learn all the main steps of the Futurecasting process, a proven foresights process developed by futurist, Brian David Johnson. You will then practice each of these major steps—trend synthesis, personas, rapid futurecasting, science fiction prototyping, and backcasting—and start to develop some plans for the future. Some of these plans will build upon what you learned during the two morning sessions focused on AI and Blockchain. In addition to using Rapid Futurecasting to design simple experiences that you may wish to create, you will also consider the investments, partnerships, R&D effort, and talent plans you might need to succeed. “The best way to predict the future is to design it”. So said engineer, inventor, and futurist Buckminster Fuller. Similar statements have been credited to Alan Kay, Peter Drucker, and even Abraham Lincoln. The bottom line is that in order to seize a leadership position in any market, a company needs to take an active role in defining the future that they want to build, and then develop a comprehensive plan to build that imagined future. Attend this workshop to learn how to deploy the Futurecasting process at your company, or perhaps in your own life, as a way to help you model, plan, and then build the future that you want.

    Awareness is not understanding. In the age of Google and WebMD, people are aware of a lot, but they don’t understand nearly as much. Case in point: All that causes sickness is not cancer, and not all who lose data have had a breach.

    My goal in this presentation is to challenge your understanding of what makes up a data breach by explaining its full anatomy so that you can diagnose where it hurts and how to fix it—or if you are even sick at all. All while sharing some of life’s best medicine (laughter) along the way.

    For years, security programs have been about how to stop people from doing what they want to do. On top of that, we force users to take boring computer-based training, subject them to impossible password requirements, and punish them when they click on a bad link. It’s time to rethink the security user experience

    In this talk, Grant Sewell will walk through some of the worst user experiences we create in our security programs, and provide some examples on how to fix them. Creating a positive security culture requires understanding your business and employees, treating them with dignity, and thinking with a mentality that puts the user first.

    Everything old is new again. Migrating to the cloud certainly is not a new thing. It is for some smaller companies that are just now able to afford making the move to the cloud. Cloud boasts a secure, disaster proof option for companies to store their data offsite with access to that data from practically anywhere. So, who’s fault is it when the data is compromised? What if your information is stolen from the cloud because another user’s data was at fault? At the end of the day, isn’t the cloud just someone else’s computer? Join this panel discussion as they guide you through the pros and cons in migrating to the cloud.

    To be successful, as an industry, we must strive to get ahead of the bad guys. Easy enough to say but how? By taking a look at the capabilities of the threats we see today we should be able to make some educated guesses on what threats of tomorrow will look like. We know the bad guys don’t follow the rules, take the path of least resistance, and don’t care who they hurt in the process. We need to start thinking like them so that we can figure out what their next step is instead of guessing/hoping.

    Today data breaches have become a common fixture of our daily lives. Executives are paying closer attention to their organization’s security posture and funding projects aggressively. Often these projects involve a rollout of flashy new technology and / or devices. These solutions are sold, marketed, and deployed as silver bullet solutions. Technologies such as DLP are “open sandbox” tools that allow a company to build policies around how data can be stored, processed, and transmitted. The same Lego “bricks” can be used to make a space shuttle can also be used to make a dinosaur, a pirate ship, or even a spooky castle. The same is true in Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
