Intellectual Property in Government Contracts: Data Rights (& Wrongs)
Nicole Best - 202-775-7240 seminars@publiccontractinginstitute.com
Intellectual Property in Government Contracts: Data Rights (& Wrongs)
Summary
The Government’s and contractors’ respective rights in intellectual property (IP) arising from government contracts is very important to both sides. For contractors, IP rights may be critical for the very survival of the company. For Government agencies, IP rights may have a great impact on the cost and time to accomplish an agency’s mission.
“Rights in data” is an unusually complex area, but one that is essential to learn. Not the least of the difficulties is that different agencies apply different rules. Nevertheless, the government contractor that fails to learn to protect its rights in data may be crippled – or worse – by its ignorance.
This program will provide you with the practical tools to analyze and solve data rights issues. You will learn the categories of rights the Government may obtain in patents and in deliverable technical data and computer software under DoD’s regulations versus the (different) civilian agency regulations and the rules of when the Government vs. contractor obtains different rights in data, and how a contractor must mark legends on deliverable data. Finally, you will learn how to apply these rules in different real-life situations, such as parts replicators, technology innovators with R&D contracts, SBIR contractors, subcontractors, commercial software vendors, software developers, and software resellers and value added resellers (VARs).
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is highly relevant to inside counsel, contract administrators, program managers, and engineering staff.
Learning Objectives
Learn the categories of rights contractors and the Government obtain in data delivered under Government contracts.
Important contractor strategies for IP protection to employ before signing a contract.
How to review an RFP/contract to identify significant data rights issues.
How to protect commercial software marketed to the Government.
How to avoid landmines (such as legending requirements) that can result in forfeiture of data rights.
Understand who owns rights when a contractor invents a patentable invention while performing a Government contract.
Continuing Education Credits
11 CLE/ 13 CPE credits may be earned for this course. This course is recommended for 11 CLP credits.

Benefits of Attending
Government and military users across the spectrum of strategic and tactical roles and missions are clamoring for more and better means to collect, analyze, exploit and share full motion video. And while the deployment of a fleet of unmanned systems has led to a significant increase in the amount of video that can be captured, the means to exploit that video for near-real time analysis and dissemination lags behind. Multiple, competing video formats, interoperability challenges with legacy ISR stovepipes, the somewhat limited capabilities of current data tagging and metadata tools, and problems associated with already-strained, bandwidth-constricted ISR networks – all these issues will need to be dealt with if FMV capabilities are to be fully realized.
This outstanding conference brings together the key players and organizations in the FMV community. They will examine the latest OSD, Service and Intelligence community ISR and FMV needs, initiatives, plans and challenges.
How can advances in FMV technology contribute to resolving Wide Area Persistent Surveillance challenges?
What is needed to develop an “enterprise-wide” motion imagery/FMV architecture?
What are the latest tools and techniques for video analysis and exploitation? What next-generation tools are planned?
What are the operational challenges and lessons learned? How will future plans, requirements and acquisitions be impacted?

Security Risks in Procuring Low Price Technically Acceptable Solutions Webinar
The Digital Government Institute
1934 Old Gallows Road, Suite 350
Vienna, VA 22182
703-752-6243 info@digitalgovernment.com
Security Risks in Procuring Low Price Technically Acceptable Solutions May 22, 2013 2:00PM ET; 1-Hour Duration
Government agencies are being encouraged to follow acquisition policies for products and services known as Low Price Technically Acceptable, or LPTA. Lower cost solutions are attractive, but in some cases low cost solutions might introduce additional security risk. These added security risks can potentially pose a greater cost over time than anticipated. With Government IT systems under continuous attack from multiple cyber security threats, it is critical the minimal “technically acceptable” requirements include features needed to protect against these threats.
In this session, we will review solutions that adequately address security while maintaining cost-effective approaches to network design and implementation. Discussion topics will include cyber security tools that should be required for all network architectures, many of which are already included in your current deployment.

Course Description:
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Once the Federal contract, is won and awarded, its administration and oversight becomes the focus to performance, especially for non-competitive and cost reimbursement type contracts where the risk is highest to the Government. It involves both the Government, the prime contractor and its subcontractors to allow for the delivery of the contracted products or services as agreed in price, quality and time while preventing waste, fraud, and abuse.
Most courses on Government Contracting focus on the proposal preparation, solicitation, and pre-award processes and issues, such as negotiations and bid protests, et.al. relating to obtaining the contract. This course is focused on the post-award or performance phase of the contract.
COURSE OUTLINE
Contract administration, with oversight, impacts the government, the prime contractor and also the third party beneficiaries such as subcontractors. This two day course, using lectures, actual case studies, practical exercises, and Boards of Contract Appeals(BCA)/Court cases, focuses on the key aspects of contract administration and oversight, irrespective of the type of contract to include but not limited to the following topics:
· Understanding the type of contract awarded and rules of interpretation of contract language;
· Examination and impact of Federal Acquisition (FAR) directed or prime contractor included contract clauses “flowed down” in subcontracts;
· Hardware/Software Inspection, Acceptance, Warranty, and Payment Contract clauses with related responsibilities;
· Application of contract modification clauses (e.g. changes, stop work, suspension of work, change site conditions, value engineering, et.al. to include constructive changes;
· Preparation and negotiation of requests for equitable adjustments and claims;
· Process of contract terminations for default or convenience;
· Payments (periodic, progress, advance, et.al.);
· Accounting and Auditing to detect fraud, and abuse in contracts.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Course is intended for government and contractors involved with awarded Federal Contracts and would be especilly valuable for prime contractors, contractor team arrangement (CTA) members, subcontractors, contracting officer representatives (COR); technical subject matter experts (SME), auditors, price/cost analysts, proposal preparers, contract specialists and contracting officers.
Students, through AFCEA, will be provided a hard copy of Mr. Giallourakis’ published textbook, Contracting With Uncle SAM: The Essential Guide for Federal Buyers and Sellers (USNI Press) plus a USB removable memory drive ,which can be used to upload to one’s laptop, various digital classroom handouts plus the AFCEA Student Workbook which will be used in class and retained by each student for future reference in the field.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this course is to assist students in understanding how to oversee the delivery of the contracted products or services as agreed in price, quality and time while preventing waste, fraud, and abuse. This course focuses on the post-award or performance phase of the contract which involves the Government, the prime contractor and the subcontractors.

Plugfest and Mashup
The DI2E Plugfest and Mashup is a collaborative effort to continue the evolution of the DI2E framework towards the ability to have
interoperable and resusable components that can provide capability to Warfighters and others that are flexible, agile and data-driven. It was started for the DI2E Worldwide conference and will be continued in various venues.
DI2E Plugfest is a technology demonstration and a capability showcase based on conformance to the DI2E Framework.
Attendees will see how Plugfest participants are providing their capabilities both at the vendor's display tables as well as in the Plugfest Command Center.
Plugfest has two components:
Awarding Gold Stars for achievement
Playing the "Where-in-the-Worldwide" Game
Plugfest is:
interoperability and reuse under the DI2E Framework
The Mashup Challenge is a competition by teams who will create solutions that provide a distinct set of capabilities necessary for accomplishing the challenge scenario. Teams are recruited from Government organizations and are provided an operational scenario before the event. Vendors are encouraged to provide their products into the electronic mall (PX) available to the teams.
The objective of the Mashup Challenge is to demonstrate the DI2E vision of a pluggable environment usable by multiple Programs of Record. Basic features of the Mashup Challenge are:
Vendors will provide SOA web service components integrated into thePlugfest Exchange
Challengers will be representative of DCGS PoR Community
Teams will be given one week to leverage within the Plugfest eXchange (PX) to develop an application that meets an operationally relevant ISR scenario
A panel of judges will award prizes for first, second, and third place
Plugfest Exchange (PX) is a cloud-based environment where capabilities can be hosted, and where all Plugfest capabilities will be listed in the PX. The Plugfest Exchange has been developed by the DI2E EFT to provide support to the creation of the DI2E plugfest on-line environment.
PX is a virtual, integrated, services environment that where vendors can have their capabilities hosted by the PX. Vendors not wanting to integrate their products/capabilities into PX can still have them in the Plugfest electronic mall by hosting themselves and tunneling into the PX environment.

One year after it launched, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) continues to draw strong industry interest around the requirements federal agencies and vendors must meet to provide security authorization for use of cloud services. The program has over 100 cloud services vying for a provisional authorization and is privatizing the third party assessment program, which has accredited 16 organizations to date.
However, there still is confusion among industry and government about the multiple avenues for meeting the FedRAMP requirements. With one year left until all agencies must ensure that their use of cloud services meet the FedRAMP requirements, federal agencies and vendors alike must understand what is required, what FedRAMP resources are available for assistance, and how they can effectively partner with industry to meet these requirements by June of 2014.
Join us for this important event to learn:
How agencies and vendors can partner to meet FedRAMP requirements
Why the third party assessment program is being privatized
What challenges the approval process faces in a time of funding constraints
How to meet compliance requirements by the 2014 deadline

The evolution of mobile devices shows no signs of slowing, and with each new generation, the devices become more efficient tools that employees increasingly rely on to conduct both their corporate and personal business. Apps that allow the user to access sensitive corporate data are prime targets for hackers and provide a wide range of access ports to data. Controlling security breaches of mobile devices is complex due to the varying software and device types. Additionally, many organizations have no restrictions on use of personal devices.
Mobile device security experts and practitioners will discuss the best approaches to this new and evolving challenge. Organizations who have developed successful mobile device security programs will share how they developed and gained management support for their plans.
Topics will include:
understanding and controlling risks in an increasingly mobile world

Over the past year, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made major advances in improving and simplifying the future security requirements for government information technology (IT). They have identified new standards, strategies, and solutions that have reduced the FISMA requirements on the government organizations by over 50 percent and the risk to systems by much more. These include the following:
NIST published new guidelines on how to do risk assessments (NIST SP800-30), security controls released April 2013 (NIST SP800-53 Rev. 4) and information security continuous monitoring planning (NIST SP800-137).
DHS published new FISMA reporting metrics for CIOs and OIGs in November 2012, evolved the Federal FISMA review process, established common information monitoring requirements, and has initiated the contracting of centrally funded solutions for monitoring all government IT systems.
Both have increase the availability of effective automated security solutions for reducing the security work load and risk to IT systems.
How do you leverage all of these advances to successfully meet your 2013 FISMA requirements and ensure that your approach to securing your systems is practical and simplified?
This popular 2-day course provides you with specific and practical strategies for leveraging the changes into meeting your individual and enterprise FISMA responsibilities in 2013.

Overview
The Defense Systems Acquisition Management course meets the needs of defense industry program managers in today's dynamic environment, providing the latest information related to:
• Defense acquisition policy for weapons and information technology systems
including discussion of the DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and
guidebook).
• Defense acquisition and reform and initiatives.
• Defense acquisition procedures and processes.
• The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process, and the
Congressional budget process.
• The relationship between capability needs determination, resource allocation,
science and technology activities, and acquisition programs.
Taught by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) professors and other guest speakers, the course uses the same acquisition policy information provided to DoD students who attend DAU courses for formal acquisition certification.
Target Audience: Industry program managers, assistant program managers, systems engineers, industry personnel serving on DoD Integrated Product Teams, and other personnel that must interface with DoD program offices involved in program development and execution. The result of successful completion of this course is a comprehensive understanding of the environment and driving forces affecting program managers which will significantly increase awareness and effectiveness in dealing with programmatic issues. The course is also open to a limited number of government mid- to upper-level managers, tuition free. Government personnel may apply the DSAM course towards fulfillment of government continuous learning (CL) points. DSAM counts for 34 CL points, or 3.4 Continuous Education Units (CEU).

Challenges to Program Management
This block covers diverse topics that are critical to the success of the DoD program manager. Students working in assigned teams will research and analyze these topics and will culminate in a short presentation to the entire class.
Application of Acquisition Procedures

The course will end with a detailed case study where participants develop an acquisition strategy using a program structure chart reflecting an instructor assigned acquisition scenario to carry an acquisition program through its entire life cycle.

Soldier Technology: Soldier Systems & System Integration Conference & Exhibition
How to operate effectively in an austere economic environment
The way in which governments spend on soldier systems and equipment is changing in line with national defence restructuring and the wind-down of the war in Afghanistan. As a result, investment in soldier modernisation, like other areas of defence spend, is being scrutinised to ensure the government is getting value for money and is developing capability against future operational needs.
Companies are finding that their customer base is shifting; spending on soldier equipment has shifted so exporting is crucial. This can be backed up by results from the ADS 2012 UK Defence Survey: UK land defence export sales increased by 4% in 2011 against 2010 with land holding 16% market share of the UK defence industry in 2011.
However, Western nations continue to focus on affordable spending; they are seeking economies of scale by buying equipment common to the soldier, marine, airborne and special operators. As a result, funded programmes still remain. For example, Sweden, Norway, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia – all still have funded programmes where spend is yet to be allocated and opportunity remains.
Soldier Technology will gather the key nations and stakeholders mentioned above to drive innovation and export opportunities:
Solutions You Will Gain from Attending Soldier Technology
Gain clarity on which nations and programmes are spending and how much they plan to spend on what
Get in front of international customers for as often and for as long as possible to understand the need
Demonstrate what you can do for your customers outside traditional equipment delivery ie. focusing on service and support
New Features of Soldier Technology in 2013
Enabling more information exchange and networking through shorter programme and tech briefings, more open discussion and more time networking
The creation of a new SME innovation zone to encourage development of new technologies
New categories will be represented such as airborne and mounted soldier equipment enabling industry to develop capability across the soldier domain
New geographical regions will present to enable discussion for export opportunities. For example Brazil, Russia, India, China, Japan, Turkey and Eastern Europe
Wider range of briefings to give aholistic view of investment opportunities from international soldier programmes, R&D, SME’s, prime contractors and tire one suppliers

“Connecting Information Management Dots: Centralized Governance of Physical and Electronic Content”
As Federal Agencies drive towards deadlines set forth by the Presidential Directive on Managing Government Records, they are faced with balancing the requirements for digital and paper strategies.
Agencies are already overwhelmed by the exponential growth of unstructured electronic content from numerous information systems within the enterprise, but what about the physical content that exists unmanaged and continues to grow within the agency? Paper content is typically managed in a silo, organized under different practices and polices than its electronic brethren. This duplicity in management drives both higher costs and risks, while reducing productivity and efficiencies. Ideally all records would be managed centrally, by leveraging a single platform with a unified set of policies.
In this webinar, you will learn more about:
What issues are affecting good information management programs today
How to take pressure off to meet Presidential Directive timelines
What needs to happen across functional silos to reach consensus on the right information management plan for your agency
The transparent management of physical and electronic records from creation through to disposition
What an effective Unified Records Management (URM) platform can do for your agency
Who should attend:
Records Management Officers and Analysts
Finance Officers
IT Managers and Administrators
SharePoint Administrators
Operations administrators
Senior Agency Officials Responsible for Records Programs

Click here to receive exhibitor or attendee information!
CME 2013 brings thousands of marine buyers and sellers together in a unique, business-to-business environment in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic commercial marine industries. It's an opportunity to showcase your company's products and technology before this audience of hard-to-reach professionals. Over two full days, you will meet with active buyers who are looking for the equipment, gear, and services your company sells.
CME 2013 is the entire industry, gathered under one roof.
At CME, buyers compare, price and purchase the latest equipment and gear. They attend expecting to see technical experts in search of solutions to the challenges they face, and the newest technology and innovations. For many, CME is the only show they attend to see and purchase what's new in the industry — it's their most efficient, one-stop purchasing source.
Affordable Exhibit Rates, Low Freight and Drayage Rates, Hassle-free Set-up and Teardown
Reduced Freight, Drayage & Labor Rates
Show management has slashed freight and drayage rates... including a special rate for display machinery (winches, propellers, ice-makers, etc.) of just $12/cwt. Display engines and equipment up to 2,000 pounds can be moved and out for just $200 round-trip. Easy, no-hassle move-in and move-out means you'll save time and money.
Reduced Boat Display Rates
CME is all about boats. Space for boats displayed on trailers or jack-stands in the CME Boat Pavilion, inside the main exhibit hall is just $1.50 per square foot. All boats displayed at CME will be highlighted in the official show directory.
CME Attendees are:
Coast Guard and Military Personnel
Commercial vessel owners and operators
Passenger vessel owners and operators
Tug boat owners and operators
Commercial fishermen
Fish Processors
Charter boat owners and operators
Shipyards and commercial boatbuilders
Engineers and architects
Equipment manufacturers and distributors
Port authorities and port engineers
Harbormasters
Marina operators
Marine surveyors
Military buyers and government officials
Others affiliated with the marine industry
Attendee Profile:
76% influence purchasing decisions
77% found new products or companies as a result of attending
67% bought or intend to buy as a result of attending
55% say tradeshows are their most useful source for making purchasing decisions
18% of attendees say they did not find a company they were hoping to see at the show. Make sure your customers are buying from you — not your competitors.
A fraudulent organization called FAIRGuide is targeting exhibitors. If you have participated in any of the industry's commercial marine expos, you are likely to be targeted. Under no circumstances should you sign anything indicating you will become part of an "exhibition directory" that will list your company's products and services, if the letter is sent to you by FAIRGuide or CONSTRUCT DATA VERLAG of Vienna, Austria. This company is not connected to this show in any way. It is not necessary nor is it advisable that you fill out the FAIRGuide form to participate in Commercial Marine Expo.
In the fine print of this letter you will find a charge of around USD $1800 that will be invoiced to you annually for a period of three years, for a service that is of no possible value to you.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
If you have already signed for such a service, you may find helpful information here: www.stopecg.org/other.htm.
If you earn your living on the waterfront, this is the trade show for you!
Commercial Marine Expo is the Atlantic Seaboard's largest commercial marine trade show. Whether you are in the military, work the tugs, repair and build ships, or fish for a living, CME is your best opportunity to compare, price and purchase the latest equipment and gear. Each year, CME rotates between Hampton, Virginia and New Bedford, Massachusetts.
In 2013, CME returns to Virginia at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, offering you opportunities to see hundreds of exhibitors, products, technology, and informative equipment demonstrations.

Biometrics Analytics, Big Data and Biometric-Enabled Intelligence— Next-Generation Capabilities and Opportunities
The proliferation of new collection devices, a range of new developments in recognition technologies, innovative approaches to sensor and data fusion, and the emergence of powerful analytic tools give defense, intelligence, homeland security, and law enforcement officials important new capabilities to carry out their missions. Now, experts are working on the ability to marry biometric information with intelligence artifacts and products from the non-biometric environment. Add to this the emergence of new “big data” tools, technologies and capabilities for analyzing largescale data inputs from multiple sources, and biometric-enabled intelligence promises to provide a powerful new means of analyzing and predicting risks from potential enemy actions in near-real time.
This outstanding symposium brings together the government and industry experts who are at the forefront of developing the next generation of analytics-based biometrics. They will provide you with a comprehensive picture of DoD, Homeland Security, FBI and Intelligence Community biometric and biometric data analytics plans, needs, technical challenges and emerging capabilities and opportunities.
What is the status and future of key Government biometric and biometric data analytics programs and initiatives?
How can we cope with, much less manage, the everincreasing volume of biometric inputs?
How can the large-scale analytics associated with “big data” help? What role will “the cloud” play?
What are the latest advances in biometric data analytics for dealing with the challenges in active identity authentication in mobile environments?
What are the prospects for on-demand identity intelligence? Rapid, real-time DNA analysis?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

Accelerating PIV Integration with Federal Use of Mobile Devices
Federal Government currently spends approximately $1.2 billion annually for mobile and wireless services and devices, maintaining an inventory of approximately 1.5 million active accounts. These figures will are expected to trend upward as agencies accelerate the adoption of new mobile technologies, and as the public increasingly expects particular Federal Government services to be made easily accessible on mobile devices.
Accelerating PIV integration with Federal adoption of Cloud based services
Under the Federal Cloud Computing Initiative, cloud computing has become an accepted and integral part of the federal IT environment. Agencies are seeking out opportunities to use cloud computing to reshape their IT portfolios to drive innovation, maximize ROI, and improve cybersecurity.
Accelerating PIV Integration into Physical Access System (PACS)
The ICAMSC is working to provide guidance for individuals accessing federal facilities, especially those requiring unescorted access both at the perimeter and in internal areas, ensuring that they have been properly cleared, authorized, and hold a PIV credential to do so. PIV cryptology for use in PACS across the federal enterprise, particularly cloud based EPACS is an current focus area of the ICAM community.

Why Become An Exhibitor
TWO AND A HALF DAYS IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF BUSINESS OWNERS
Based on Exhibitor AND Attendee feedback, people prefer focused based two and a half days of events.
Trade shows are one of the best ways to reach thousands of business owners face-to-face especially in the small public safety markets. Choose our event to get thousands of leads EACH AND EVERYDAY.
===============================================
Simple. Our/Your target market is a closely knit market, and in need of getting financial assistance from the expo and exhibitors alike. We take into serious consideration the fact that public safety companies do not have the luxury of being away from their office for more than two or three days, and departments definitely cannot be away long for the same reasons (even two and a half days is a lot to be away!). Therefore, it is essential that they are able to meet with you (the exhibitor) and attend valuable workshops and classes, gather information and provide valuable quotes to departments for your products around the country quickly and efficiently. Our philosophy is simple & powerful …and it works! That’s one of the many reasons why our attendance is so great.

Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made headlines around the world recently when he warned America was at risk of a “Cyber Pearl Harbor”. A stark comparison at first – Panetta’s words soon turned heads when devastating cyber attacks on American banks and newspapers exposed the vulnerabilities of U.S. computer networks. It came as no surprise when he announced the Department of Defense would pump $3billion annually into cyber security.
The threat against American computer systems is more prevalent than ever. The number of cyber attacks on American infrastructure has increased almost twentyfold in the last two years, while our preparedness for a large-scale attack on a scale from 1 to 10, “is around a 3”, according to CYBERCOM Commander General Keith Alexander.
IDGA’s Cyber Defense and Network Security Summit takes place just as the White House puts the finishing touches on the 2013 cybersecurity executive order and lays out the strategies and initiatives for the upcoming decade. Speakers from CYBERCOM, the Air Force, and Marine Corps will all share the latest cyber challenges and opportunities, while speakers from the Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency and NATO will present on strategies for cyber intelligence sharing and real-time response to threats.
U.S. national cyber capabilities are in a state of transition and Cyber Defense and Network Security 2013 will set the stage for decision-makers to express requirements and listen to industry solution providers. Come join us and establish yourself as a key player in this burgeoning field!

National security is continuously being redefined as awareness of the cyberspace domain evolves. Cyber threats and challenges grow every day. Successfully defending our networks requires a team approach. With this in mind, the AFCEA Cyber Symposium will engage the key players, including the U. S. Government, the International Community, Industry and Academia, to discuss the development of robust cyberspace capabilities and partnerships.
The AFCEA International Cyber Symposium 2013 focuses on the critical missions of U.S. Cyber Command and the interface with Army Cyber Command, Marine Corps Forces Cyber Command, 10th U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, 24th Air Force Cyber, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, DoD-CIO, National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Academia, Industry partners. The operational theme "Defining Full Spectrum Global Cyberspace Operations" will explore the operational security of DoD and Industry Networks, Cyber Operations with Joint and Coalition partners, and discuss the training and development of the cyber workforce.
Due to sequestration and our desire to help enable Government and Military Employee participation, AFCEA International has updated its event attendance guidelines. Follow the link below to learn more:
Several Cyber Symposium sessions will help attendees sustain DoD 8570.01-M mandated certifications. Over the past several years, federal agencies have collectively agreed that the ever-changing threats associated with cyber security create the need for a continuous learning process to reduce risk to our national security. In response, industry certification bodies adopted a continuous education model to address these issues. AFCEA has partnered with Cypherpath, a cyber security training and education company, to launch a new Continuing Education Unit (CEU) program to train, manage and report relevant critical knowledge and skills-related activities required to meet DoD 8570.01-M requirements. Individuals must enroll in the CE Program, attend qualified sessions, obtain and submit validated documentation in order to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Cyber Symposium attendees may receive CEUs for sessions designated (by a **) to support CE requirements for sustaining DoD 8570.01-M certifications. Please stop by the AFCEA booth to obtain a flyer with answers to frequently asked questions about CEUs.

General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel
General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel
Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are now available for the Coalition’s General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel training scheduled for June 27, 2013. Attendees can earn 6 CLEs for the course with the Virginia State Bar.
The GSA Schedule, including the delegated VA Schedules, is a $50 billion contracting program that all federal agencies use to acquire commercial services and products. These multiple year, government-wide contracts cover professional services, information technology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and a vast array of commercial products.
Schedule contracts offer a huge market opportunity. Thousands of companies including both Fortune 500 companies and a vast number of small businesses have GSA/VA Schedule contracts. All federal agencies, and in some instances state agencies, can place orders against the contracts.
Of particular interest to in-house counsel, Schedule contracts have a pricing methodology, and disclosure requirements that are unique in federal government contracting. The contracts provisions must be correctly understood, managed and monitored to assure that your company realizes anticipated profits. Failure to do so can result in significant monetary, administrative, civil and even criminal penalties.
This seminar will provide information and tools to help you understand the GSA/VA Schedule contracting program and provide insightful legal advice to your in-house client.

Analytics, Utilities and the Future Grid
– Challenges and Opportunities –
The utility and grid analytics market is poised to explode over the next five years, with estimates that utilities will spend well over $1 billion per year in smart grid and other analytics capabilities by 2020. Analytics are seen as driving savings across the entire enterprise – from asset planning and management; to load balancing and management; transmission planning, management, maintenance and reconfiguration; resource distribution and renewables integration; demand anticipation and response; power grid management and modification; risk management; competitive pricing; and consumer energy reduction and savings. The ultimate goal is to achieve all this in as near real-time as possible, on the way to becoming an “intelligent utility.”
This outstanding symposium brings together the utility and industry experts who are shaping the future of the analytics-based organization. They will provide an in-depth examination of utility analytics needs and capabilities and a broad, reasoned perspective on what industry can provide, now and in the future.
What are the emerging lessons learned in utility analytics?
What are the potential pitfalls? How do you determine ROI and case success?
What are the infrastructure and technology requirements? How do you deal with system, sensor, smart meter, etc. information overload?
What role can “big data” play? How do you select appropriate big data applications? Develop use cases?
How can analytics facilitate IT/OT strategic and operational integration? How will analytics shape national smart grid R&D, rollout and evolution?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

Overview
Early in the acquisition process, effective negotiating teams must agree upon the concept of which contractual approach they will use to drive the deal. ICN’s advanced training course SLA Lab: Results-Based Contracting helps you understand the difference between contracting for resources and contracting for results and shows you how to implement a “results deal”.
This “results versus resources” decision establishes which side of the bargaining table will bear the responsibility for the results you’re expecting from the deal. In a “results deal,” the vendor is responsible, while in a “resource deal,” it’s the customer.
In SLA Lab, you’ll gain an understanding of critical elements that can help you shift risk and responsibilities to the vendor and monitor ongoing compliance. These include:
A 10-step Service Level creation process
Contract and RFP Development tools for developing Service Levels
Corporate alignment—getting input & buy-in from stakeholders
Data gathering and measurement—a “how to” process and pitfalls to avoid
Document library—examples and tools for Service Levels
Handling of vendor ploys in Service Level areas
Internal teams—organizing customer stakeholders to make better Service Levels
Management policies and practices—getting critical management buy-in
Monitoring and compliance—ensuring agreed-to SLAs are followed
Performance reviews and escalation—how to solve Service Level disputes
Reconciliation strategies—how to balance Service Level debits & credits over time
Remedies and rewards—Motivating vendors to extraordinary performance
Results-based services—obtaining outcomes, not activities
Sample templates and forms—examples of Service Level contracting tools
Scorecards and Dashboards—examples of management reporting tools

The authoritative networking and trade platform for electric vehicles and charging facilities in China
eMobility is a new milestone in the automobile industries development during the 21st century. It becomes great significance in easing the global energy crisis while strengthening environmental protection. As the rest of the world, China has started developing electric vehicles to achieve the main goals like energy savings, low emissions and to guarantee a sustainable development of the automobile industry.
By 2012, electric vehicles are expected to share up to 5% of Chinas automobile market, by exceeding 900,000 units. Until 2015, 10% of the entire car production will issue with electric passenger vehicles and they will amount to 20%, which is more or less about 10 million units, of Chinas total car production by 2020.
Relevant statistics indicate that over the next decade, the Chinese government will be investing hundreds of billions RMB to support the research and development as well as promotion of electric vehicles. It will also focus on breaking through battery-powered, motor-driven and electronically-controlled core technologies to promote the industrialization of new energy vehicles.
According to the 2010 "12th Five-Year Plan" by the National Development and Reform Commission, the future development of Chinas automotive industry will advance towards miniaturization and electrification. The future of the domestic automotive industry will inevitably enter a period of rapid growth with new energy vehicles, especially electric ones, being a lucrative sector.

The leading platform for the bio-energy industry in China
With the rapid consumption of fossil resources and deterioration of ecology, nations around the world emphasis on the development of new energy and renewable energy. They invest large amount of fund and stress on promoting. As a unique renewable resources, bio-energy could be convert into three fuels, gas, liquid and solid. Those fuels have two ways of cleaning effect. Worldwide pay great attention to it.
By the end of 2011, global heat utilization of bio-energy reaches about 290 GW, 23% of the whole untilization. European bio-energy heating fits 12.9% of the whole heating energy requirements, 93% of renewable energy heating. Bio-energy power generation is 16.85% of renewable energy heating. Bio-energy provides 63.59% of cogeneration. In the meantime, the utilization of bio-energy in China has achieved great progress.
We’ve break though much key technology and built megawatt marsh gas power generation and the trial project of kiloton cellulosic ethanol and gasification and synthetic fuels. Many western countries have formulated policies of the development of bio-energy and emphasize on the importance of bio-energy in energy system. The Chinese government would also stress on the development of bio-energy. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, it is greatly promoted that the development target of bio-energy is to enforce the industrialization of biofuel technology and high-valued comprehensive utilization. A whole year of bio-energy utilization would be over the target of 50 million tons of standard coal.
With the development of bio-energy and new technology, there’re still some shortcomings in bio-energy industry, technology, policies and so on. To make matters worse, there’re some arguments about eco-friendly and utilization of bio-energy. In order to overcome these difficulties, China Electricity Council, China National Renewable Energy Center, China Association of Resource Comprehensive Utilization, Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association. Construction Industry Sub-Council of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Construction Industry Chamber of Commerce of China Chamber of International Commerce organize 5th China International Bio-Energy Summit & Expo. It is aiming at promoting the cooperation among technology, fund and market and would be held from July 3 ~ 5 at National Convention Center (Beijing).
Governers from government agencies, industry leaders, company elites, academic experts, elites from market analysis agencies and finicial agencies , medium representatives and the public get together here.

Introduction
This conference will be be held at the SECRET/U.S. ONLY classification.
Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the need for our combat systems to be survivable and effective. Many of our systems employed in combat have undergone statutorily-mandated Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), and have benefited from the advanced understanding of how our weapons perform and how our systems will respond when hit. This conference will address the impact of global threats, including strategic, tactical (including ballistic, directed energy and other non-ballistic threats) and unconventional threats (IEDs, others) on the safety and survivability of our armed forces. It will explore new survivability techniques and approaches to integrate survivability concerns within the broad considerations of system design and employment. The conference will also address issues related to lethality of our weapons systems, from small caliber munitions to missile defense. Lethality will be discussed within the operational context of increased precision of delivery and the desire to limit collateral damage. Other topics, which also play a vital role in this process, will include modeling and simulation, experimental design, test ranges, instrumentation and environmental issues related to this type of testing. LFT&E policies, procedures and best practices will also be addressed.
This year marks the 26th anniversary of the statutory requirement for LFT&E of
acquisition programs under Title 10, United States Code (Section 2366). The statute,
which became effective in FY1987, requires realistic survivability testing and realistic
lethality testing for applicable systems. Since FY1995, OSD oversight of LFT&E has
been provided through the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation,
which provides for an integrated assessment of operational effectiveness (including
lethality), suitability and survivability.

Protecting Critical National Infrastructure (PCNI)
The concepts used to describe Protecting Critical National Infrastructure have changed radically since they were first articulated in President Clinton’s President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection in 1997. Although PCNI was initially seen in terms of protecting facilities and operations from terrorist attack (and that still remains a significant factor in PCNI thinking), it has since then become clear that PCNI is much more complex than merely defending facilities based on traditional security management models.
The highly inter-connected and interdependent nature of tightly-bounded CNI operations means that a disruption in service to any part of the national system (and in many cases, the global system, for example, cyber communication), has a high-likelihood of triggering rapidly escalating and rapidly cascading effects, increasing both the impact of any failure in service but also transferring the consequences of those failures across the system.
From a crisis management perspective, the specific reasons for the initial triggering of a systems failure is less important than the necessity of consequence management following any failure, whatever its initial cause might be.
Given the increasing fragmentation of the CNI landscape, the commercial pressures associated with privatisation and cost-cutting savings, the aging of the CN infrastructure and the associated degradation of security and general services, as well as the ever more urgent need for invasive maintenance merely to maintain minimal functional capability, all combined with increased technological sophistication and complexity that increasingly leaves the management of CNI to fully-autonomous automated programmes, means that the issues of effective management of CNI and the ability to respond to non-normal situations speedily and effectively is at the forefront of crisis management thinking across the commercial and government PCNI sectors.

Healthcare Data Analytics – What You Need to Know about This Burgeoning New Field!
The healthcare analytics market, already at almost $4 billion annually, is expected to grow to nearly $11 billion per year by 2017. In addition, the application of emerging Big data tools and analytics could help U.S. citizens save as much as$450 billion in healthcare costs, but fundamental change is necessary to meeting such goals, according to a new analysis published this month by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Healthcare organizations around the globe are gathering information and crunching numbers to determine by careful analysis the key statistical data that will drive improvements in operational performance, quality of care, and cost management. More and more healthcare providers and payers are engaging in complex predictive analytics in the attempt to understand an extremely wide range of patient data – everything from indicators for relapse and readmission to factors indicating increased medicine consumption, and more. Forward-thinking organizations are setting up the infrastructure needed to collect, process, integrate, and mine these nuggets of hidden data within the increasing large troves of stored patient information.
This outstanding symposium brings together the key senior executives from hospital and physician settings, government, and industry to examine the state of healthcare analytics and the future opportunities and challenges to be faced.
What are DHHS, CMMS, Tricare, and VA needs and plans in healthcare analytics?
What challenges do hospitals and physician practices face? How can analytics be scaled up or down depending upon the size of the practice or hospital setting?
Can analytics pave the way for real-time, predictive operations management?
What are the opportunities for analytics-based enhanced clinical decision support? Comprehensive population health management?
What role will “big data” analytics play?
How do you select appropriate missions and applications for health analytics? Big Data?
How do you build use cases and justify ROI?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

NEW! GIVE BACK TOGETHER—COMMUNITITY SERVICE PROJECT
SATURDAY, JULY 20 • 5:30PM–6:30PM
Past participants asked for the opportunity to meet and learn from fellow chapter leaders in a more casual environment. As a result all Summer Chapter Leader Summit participants will be attending NCMA's Second Annual World Congress Community Service Project. NCMA is partnering with Hands On Nashville to assemble Healthy Kids Kits for children and Fresh Start Kits for veterans in the Nashville area for this year's community service project. This is a unique opportunity for NCMA members to support children and veterans in the Nashville area.
SHARE THIS EVENT'S RESOURCES WITH YOUR CHAPTER LEADERSHIP TEAM
Summer Chapter Leader Summit is about more than bringing all of our chapter leaders together. It's about training our current chapter leaders so they can assist in the training of other upcoming or incoming chapter leaders within their local NCMA chapter. As a part of our Summer Chapter Leadership Summit, we create and update chapter training resources to help new chapter leaders or those with new roles become familiar with basic chapter processes and the resources that NCMA offers its chapters. To check out these resources, visit the Summer Chapter Leader Summit 2013 page of the NCMA Resources site.
“Even though I'm passing my chapter position off, I attended this event to obtain every bit of knowledge to pass along to the person who is taking over my position—it's important that my chapter continues to take steps forward. ”

Summit on All Electronic Tolling and Interoperability: Charting the Future
Over the course of the past seven years, this content-rich meeting remains the most heavily attended workshop of the year. The 2013 Workshop will continue the tradition of providing progress reports and best practices in support of streamlining transportation systems while ensuring revenue collection.
Do not miss the opportunity to participate in the 2013 World Congress of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP) with active participation from government, industry and academia.

About the Conference:
One main goal of the Congress is to assemble a spectrum of 22-affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. Learn more about the conferences being held simultaneously at WORLDCOMP.
An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives."

For many industries, the supply chain is the number-one arena for risk susceptibility. In the past few years, we have seen natural disasters dramatically impact international supply chains. Think of your own supply chain and where gaps can be found — anywhere from supplier weakness to economic uncertainty and fluctuating markets.
This conference is designed to provide an overview and practical information to help you connect the dots from risk management to your supply chain planning and execution.
The conference theme focuses on the many facets of risk management. Discover how organizations successfully confront risk using innovative tools and processes, and make those solutions part of your risk management survival kit. This program includes takeaways and success stories to apply to your enterprise. Practitioners share their tried-and-true stories to help companies avoid pitfalls.
If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that we must be prepared if we want to succeed.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Supply management professionals engaged in developing and supporting corporate risk management initiatives. Supply management professionals may want to invite those outside of supply management to gain buy-in and to build the foundation for organizational success. Risk management initiatives are often holistic strategies that involve the entire organization. Strong risk analysis can improve negotiating postures, contract writing and gap analyses. If you're involved in any of these areas, consider attending this conference to strengthen your position.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
This is an opportunity to gain insight from supply chain professionals who have been in the trenches. Featured speakers include upper-level executives from world class organizations such as GE, Eli Lilly & Co. and Kraft Foods Group. Each session includes practical tools, assessments and takeaways so you can develop your risk strategy — or fine-tune your existing plan. Don't wait until disaster strikes; be prepared for what may be around the corner.

8th Annual Night Vision Systems
Adapting Technologies to Own the Night in Next Generation Threat Environments
The demands of the 21st century battlefield present some of the most challenging threat environments known to man. Protecting and equipping the warfighter has never been more complex as they combat terrorist threats, weapons of mass destruction, and rogue nations in harsh, multifaceted conditions for longer periods of time. It is the advancements in both sensor and imaging technology that enable the warfighter to see, acquire, and target hostile forces, day or night, in these next generation threat environments.
"The Army is using its advanced Night Vision sensors in Iraq and Afghanistan 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The capabilities of these critical combat tactical sensors are vital in the asymmetrical fight against terrorism."
-COL Curtis McCoy, U.S. Army G8 Office
This event will focus on the latest technological advancements in military night vision systems and sensors to maintain a competitive edge on the battlefield. It will look at investments in new solutions meant to enhance warfighter ability to “own the night.”
In addition, discover how the night vision world is adapting in the current fiscal environment, what the future outlook is, and how industry is evolving to meet commercial needs.
IDGA’s 8th Annual Night Vision Systems will bring together all relevant stakeholders to discuss the most pressing issues facing the night vision community. Analyze future trends, identify immediate and long-term needs, and uncover up-and-coming technologies for use in changing environments. Policy makers, uniformed service leaders, law enforcement and industry partners will gather in Washington to network, share best practices and explore potential paths to illuminate the future of night vision.
This year's event will look at:
Emerging night vision needs and requirements within the Department of Defense
New capabilities and technologies for night operations on the ground, in the air, and by sea
Partnership opportunities between government, industry, and academia
Adapting night vision technology to complement existing/up-and-coming commercial applications
Providing enhanced vision systems to federal and local law enforcement agencies
Welcome to the 2013 AFCEA Global Intelligence Forum (USA)!
For over 30 years, the government and industry members of the AFCEA Intelligence Committee have sponsored highly regarded classified symposia and conferences for intelligence professionals. Now – in partnership with AFCEA’s Cyber Committee – the Intelligence Committee is bringing that same expertise to an unclassified forum as part of its commitment to supporting the public-private partnership the nation needs to ensure secure operations in cyberspace.
On July 30-31, 2013, in the National Press Club in the heart of Washington, D.C. right near the White House, the AFCEA Global Intelligence Forum will focus specifically on the role of intelligence in the cyber domain.
During this day and a half, unclassified conference, leaders from across the government, military, and industry will explore the role that the Intelligence Community can play in helping to ensure free and secure cyberspace operations – from setting requirements, to collecting and analyzing data, to delivering insights and recommendations. In the end, the discourse will look at where industry can partner with the government to provide cyber situational awareness and indications and warning.
As you review the menu to the left, you will see a tab marked “Ask a Speaker a Question.” Using this tab you can help frame the conference agenda by submitting questions you would like specific speakers or sessions to address during the conference. On the “Program” page you can also click on a speaker’s name and submit a question for him or her.
