Closing comments
The launch of 5G has been called the next Industrial Revolution. Next generation technologies are designed to deliver high speed data and low-latency, which will enable previously unrealized potential for productivity. 5G is an enabling technology for IoT, the backbone of smart cities. Attend this session to learn more about how government is transforming to smart cities, the timeline to implement supporting technologies, such as ultra wide band, and what our panel of government and industry experts believe are the challenges facing deployment.

Dr. Ryan Vega, Exeuctive Director, VHA Innovation Ecosystem Office of the Deputy Secretary for Discovery and Affiliate Networks, Veterans Health Administration. Innovative Fusion at VA: Deploying 5G, Augmented Reality and Cloud Analytics to Deliver More, Together. Through Project Convergence, VHA Innovation Ecosystem is leveraging its partnerships with leading technology firms to pioneer how emerging technologies can be used together tackle rising healthcare challenges. This presentation will highlight how, through collaboration with Medivis, Microsoft and Verizon, the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System is developing foundational practices for the joint use and deployment of 5G, augmented reality and cloud analytics tools to improve and enhance healthcare delivery.
Supply Chain and Security are top of mind for anyone thinking about Emerging Technologies. Supply-chain risk has grown exponentially with the globalization of development. Information Communication Technology (ICT) supply chain is of interest to the security of the United States. It is important to consider what vulnerabilities, devices or hardware from untrusted sources, may introduce. This panel will assess the integrity of third-party suppliers in the mobile and cloud environments. Government COR’s/CO’s need to pay attention to risks/vulnerabilities posed by 3rd party suppliers to OEM’s.

Jason Marsh, Director Intelligence Programs, CGI Federal and Hudson Sutherland, Director, CGI Federal. CGI Secure Data Fabric. Extremely stringent security mechanisms impede data access, data sharing and data discovery, which impacts missions across multiple domains. This presentation will discuss CGI Federal’s Secure Data Fabric that provides a data agnostic, single solution for securing all data elements within the data environment. By leveraging Blockchain and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) as enabling technologies, this tool is built to facilitate data sharing through a unique security platform, is transferable across the government as the platform promotes efficient access and discovery of data across and between organizations, all while providing robust audit traceability, and allows data owners to maintain full control of their data–without the need for a centralized, single-party controlled data repository.
