Welcome to our fourth and final installment of the 2022 Roadmap to Modernization Series!

Strong leadership has the power to influence the adoption and sustainability of technological transformations, both at a cultural and technical level. What does this kind of leadership look like? And what is at the forefront of their minds moving into 2023? This exclusive keynote interview with NARA Chief Innovation Officer Pamela Wright, sets the stage for an afternoon of conversations in thought leadership, reflection and priority setting for the year ahead.

Innovation is an essential part of government operations but can frequently lead to growing pains. How are leaders at the state and local level approaching modernization efforts? Where are the greatest challenges and opportunities? Join Route Fifty in this spotlight session on the Performance Management and Innovation Department in Minneapolis, MN as we dive into their accomplishments and roadblocks.

As government agencies navigate increased service expectations from citizens, growing technology complexity, and workforce shortages, they are relying more on technology and automation to improve performance. Intelligent applications and automation help leaders make better decisions, increase value to customers, and improve efficiency. However, employing intelligent applications and automation to the fullest means transforming the business from core operations to edge services – enhancing business processes, connecting systems, and streamlining processes throughout the enterprise – and requires first-rate leadership, as much as great technology.

Join Nextgov for an interview with top leaders in federal technology to unpack the lessons learned from transformation efforts and how they will inform future endeavors.

The decision to cloud or not to cloud is over. While there are still plenty of workloads to migrate, cloud adoption is now nearly universal. Now the question is, “What’s next?” The strategic benefits of cloud are being held back by the complexity and costs associated with the cloud. Join Michelle Rudnicki, VP of Public Sector at NetApp, as she shares how NetApp is solving those challenges by enabling the next phase of cloud: the evolved cloud. See how integrated services from NetApp and AWS deliver a unified experience that ensures your data is broadly accessible, protected, and secure.

In this session, Defense One sits down with the leaders paving the way for the next wave of technology and their steps towards driving change.
