i wish canada good luck with this summit in spite of the appalling recent events with ms huanwei after china had shared its very best livelihood creators with you www.gateway17.com

the question with summits i have learnt the hard way with the european union over 20 years of turning up in brussels to blah blah www.entrepreurialunion.com is when will government go beyond hosting a summit and actually apply the day after;s leapfrog tech to changing itself

we are suffering in the west from 500 years of bossing people through empire style government  (and scarily sad education systems) instead of empowering people especially girls to believe in their own capacity to serve and build communities- shame on every person in dc who believes there is anything in the way our government works that couldnt learn from empowering modes of government  as we get one last chance to reprogram everything http://aidemocracy.com - see also this report which expects the amount of life shaping information to double every day from 2020

and look at the month of work the ITU did in mapping the next 4 years of the mobile world

Event Information

Description

The art of government has faced few changes so existentially significant as the current wave of technological disruption. While the evolution of the state has been gradual but consistent, the development and implications of new technologies in the digital age have been both abrupt and radical. With declining public trust, changing citizen expectations, rising discontent and new threats to the existing state of affairs, the risk of government complacency is steadily increasing. As disruptive technologies shake up the status quo, for all the risks and rewards that will come with this, these technologies also provide new solutions and novel opportunities for improving and enhancing government. With technologies advancing more quickly than ever, the future has never been closer;

The IOG’s Annual Future Forum conference brings together thought leaders from around the world to discuss how government can mitigate risks and take advantage of the opportunities coming with the new industrial revolution. While prior IOG conferences have traditionally focused on the impact of digital technologies, the lines between these technologies and other radical advances are becoming less clear, and less meaningful. This new two-day event will host decision-makers, public intellectuals, academics, and industry leaders to address important policy issues stemming from new technologies. It seeks not only to effect a paradigm-shift among participants, but to create an environment where solutions can begin to emerge.
