Welcome to CES GOVERNMENT 2020 Presented by ON BEHALF of the Government Business Executive Forum, welcome to government technology’s premier annual summit and the world’s most prestigious technology showcase: CES Government 2020 at CES. We are glad you are part of the conference’s 15th anniversary, and we hope you find the program and activities the perfect start to the New Year. More than 30 U.S. Federal agencies and departments, more than a dozen top U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and more than a dozen NATO and U.S. partner nations are in attendance. From its beginning in 2006, CES Government was built to be different. The program is designed to be more an experience than the usual “sit and listen” conference. The agenda includes discussions, plenary sessions, and activities that enable and encourage attendees to interact, to share Donald W. Upson Co-Chair GBEF and CES Government Chrissie Coon Co-Chair CES Government 2020 ideas, and to exchange views on how government and critical infrastructure acquire and deploy the most advanced technologies to support important missions and operations. As a CES Government 2020 attendee, you likely were invited and are recognized as a leader, innovator, or someone who makes a difference in the government technology sector. Your presence contributes to our vision for CES Government to stand as the “Davos” of government technology, the annual “must attend” summit for top professionals whose primary missions or businesses are government and the technologies that support government missions and operations. While in Las Vegas, take the opportunity to walk the many halls and pavilions of CES. Get a sense of innovation applied and innovation on the horizon. Then buckle up. This is CES Government 2020. Thank you for being part of it. Barry West Co-Chair CES Government 2020 Charlie Armstrong Co-Chair GBEF 2019
