The first annual Government Information and Analytics Summit will be held 28-29 November in DC, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

I’ll be speaking in a session on the government use of big data. With me at the session will be my friend and a great CTO, Gus Hunt of the CIA. We have an interesting and dynamic session planned, and if we are lucky we will be joined by folks from the office that won the 2012 Government Big Data Solutions Award (no promises on that yet, but we are working hard to make that happen).

I hope to see you at this event. We expect many of the great champions from the government IT ecosystem to be present as attendees and/or speakers.  And some of the greatest Big Data firms in America will be on the expo floor.
