2. 2011
On behalf of the Government Business Executive Forum, which serves as the conference advisory board,
welcome to CES Government 2011 and International CES.
You are among 200 senior participating private and public sector executives whose primary business or
mission interest directly intersect the acquisition and application of technology in government. And you
are among more than 120,000 business, government and media professionals who together comprise
International CES.
We hope you find our program this year provocative and timely.“Protecting Borders” to include land, air,
water, and importantly, the borders of critical communications networks and IT infrastructure, is especially
important this tenth anniversary year of that tragic September day that forever changed the United States
and the world.
A sub-theme of our program is the importance of disciplined cooperation across jurisdictions of
government and industry - local, state, Federal, foreign and commercial - as essential to protection
of national borders.
As a conference, CES Government continues its evolution toward an annual symposium attracting
government technology and management executives - public and private sectors - from around the
world. Our vision is for the conference to serve as the binding event for a globally-connected network of
professionals who communicate and coordinate on public sector technology applications.
Equally important to the agenda is the interaction with peers and the building of relationships.
A schedule of disciplined but informal activities has been designed to encourage this interaction.
These are challenging times in uncharted waters. And that makes the discussions held here especially
important. We appreciate your participation and hope you find your time in Las Vegas valuable and your
New Year rewarding in every way.
