Join Deltek and TechAmerica for the 8th Annual California State Technology Executive Seminar featuring California’s top technology leaders.

This seminar is an opportunity for members of the technology vendor community to network with peers and interact with state executives.

• After completing his first year as California’s State CIO, Secretary Ramos will discuss the progress the Technology Agency has made since its inception, and provide a look at the future of the Agency as it undergoes another reorganization.  From the Office of Technology Services looking to enhance service offerings and exploring cloud options, to the Public Safety Communications Office developing the Next Generation 911, there are lots of great things happening at the Technology Agency and throughout the State.
• In addition, California's government is reorganizing.  Governor Jerry Brown has called for the number of state agencies to be reduced from twelve to ten. Several important functions, including technology management and procurement, will be part of a new Government Operations Agency.  Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan and DGS Director Fred Klass will shed light on some of those significant changes.
• The Department of General Services is undertaking a significant effort to realign IT Terms and Conditions to help ensure robust competition in bids and better outcomes.  In addition, DGS is promoting increased usage of a statutory negotiating authority found in Section 6611 of California’s procurement code.   Hear what these initiatives mean for you. 

We hope you will join us to hear firsthand from these three key technology policy makers!
