FOSE Announces Mobile Government Conference Agenda

Mobile technology has revolutionized the way government engages citizens and completes its mission. FOSE, the government technology solutions conference and expo produced by 1105 Media’s Government Events Group, is connecting federal decision makers and industry leaders to the policies and technologies currently in place to maintain connectivity securely while on-the-go. In addition to the newly announced Mobile Government Conference, the FOSE expo includes the Mobile Apps Experience – providing hands-on opportunities to experience the latest mobile apps and the ability to ask developers about designing, developing and deploying mobile apps for the government market. FOSE will take place April 3-5, 2012 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

“There is no doubt that mobility has taken center stage in the federal government’s plans to be more efficient,” said Daniel McKinnon, Vice President, Government Events, 1105 Media, Inc. “Surveys indicate federal employees are increasingly conducting daily job-related tasks on their smart phones and tablets. It is becoming imperative that government executives have the practical knowledge to address their key concerns before adopting mobile policies and technologies.”

The policy focused sessions will give attendees an opportunity to learn business best practices in mobile implementation and financing, including lessons learned from the private sector and future trends in advanced mobility. The following sessions will be covered:
