Come Interact With The Government Big Data Community 4 April 2013

By Bob Gourley

The Government Big Data Forum has been gathering every year for three years now to discuss how to leverage Big Data for government mission impact. We dive deep into lessons learned, share issues/challenges, receive demos from hot technology firms and network with fellow practitioners in a day-long forum.

This year we are so excited about this event because of the terrific people who have signed up. We have attendees from across the federal government (all three branches!) and that should make for a terrific discussion. We have invited some of the most experienced practitioners and leaders of the community to address and interact with the group, including:

Kirit Amin
Deputy CIO and Chief Technology Officer
US Department of Commerce

Kirit Amin was named the U.S. Department of Commerce, Deputy Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer, in November 2012.

Shawn Kingsberry
Assistant Director of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer
Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board

Shawn Kingsberry is the Assistant Director of Technology and the Chief Information Officer for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.

Donna Roy
Executive Director, Information Sharing Environment

Plus stalwarts of the community from: NGA, NSA, CIA, and the US Army.
