I’m presenting a briefing at the Homeland Defense Journal sponsored conference on information sharing on 27 November 2007 (for more info see: homelanddefensejournal.com ).
Here is a bit on the goal of the conference from their website:
The Information Sharing Strategies Conference will bring together government officials, emergency responders and the private sector to address the critical issues of information sharing. Attendees to the Information Sharing Strategies Conference will hear first hand how the National Strategy on Information Sharing will be implemented and supported across the country. Speakers will provide insight into the roadmap that defines for the nation’s ability to share information and how agencies can obtain funding and training. This is an opportunity for government and industry representatives to come together for a common purpose to understand the current state of Information Sharing and where the nation is going in the near future.
I have a thesis in my presentation that I’ll be soliciting thoughts on. My thesis is this: I believe that we technologists can and should do more to support the nation’s secure information sharing enterprise strategy. One of the ways we can do this is by helping decision-makers think through several aspects of the future of technology. By thinking through the future we can extract lessons directly relevant to today.
