On March 4, 2010, MeriTalk hosted over 1,000 government and industry IT leaders at this full-day conference focused on Federal IT innovation – and its potential to change the fundamental performance and economics of government IT. Lean budgets are here to stay. Uncle Sam requires government to do more with less. Innovation is the only way forward. MeriTalk and the government IT community convened to discuss the most critical areas in Federal IT and importantly, how to achieve the future vision in these areas – cloud computing, health IT, cyber security, edge computing, green, citizen engagement, and Web 2.0.
