The conference, which will take place February 12 in Washington, D.C., will gather policymakers, government executives and private sector technology companies to share information and develop solutions as federal agencies continue transitioning to data-driven cloud computing.
VanRoekel joins a roster of other influential policymakers and government IT executives presenting at Cloud/GOV, including:

Cloud/GOV will offer a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities federal agencies face in their transition to the cloud. Government CIOs who have already made the switch to cloud computing will discuss the lessons they learned and provide advice for other federal executives. Presentations will also address emerging FedRAMP-related issues, including the convergence of the cloud and “big data” analytics. In addition, the conference will include a comprehensive look at federal policy changes that could impact cloud computing in 2013.
