Leaders from state government and local organizations will draw upon their experience to talk about California’s data divide and the state’s open data strategy during an Aug. 13 panel discussion Techwire is hosting at the California Technology Forum in Sacramento.
Moderated by Techwire editor Bill Maile, the panelists are Chris Cruz, California Department of Technology chief deputy director of operations; Ash Roughani, a founder of Code for Sacramento (Code4Sac); and Michael Wilkening, undersecretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency.
The most recent issue of Techwire magazine looks at California’s data strategy, including initiatives on big data, data analytics and open data.
Hosted by Techwire’s parent company e.Republic Inc., the California Technology Forum will feature sessions on cloud, IT workforce, open data, security, change management, big data, social media, mobility and more. State CIO Carlos Ramos is scheduled to give opening remarks, and former State Sen. Sam Blakeslee, founding director of the Institute for Advanced Technology and Public Policy (IATPP) at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo will give the keynote.
The forum also will highlight IT project excellence and innovation at the annual Best of California awards program and reception, and the Outstanding IT Service and Support Awards.
