MHTA Spring Conference: State of Innovation

Looks like it will be another good conference from the MHTA…

IT is the backbone of the technology industry but can also be a backbreaker if not managed effectively. At MHTA’s Spring Conference you’ll get expert advice on a range of topics. They include strategies on closing the skills gap, as well as how to support innovation while keeping data secure in an era of high profile and costly security breaches.

Innovation in IT

Dan Abdul, CIO of UCare and Tony Peleska, CIO of the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority will address current IT organizations from the lens of CEOs and other executives as well as critical changes needed to lead the next generation of IT departments.

Essentials on data security and innovation

Many companies around the globe are moving away from complete in-house data centers to hybrid IT solutions to offer their business more efficiency, agility and better economics. Chris Richter, Vice President, Managed Security Products & Services of CenturyLink will address what you need to know about data security in the cloud and in-house.

How veterans can help close the IT skills gap

Genesis10 will lead a discussion featuring local IT leaders from large MN companies including CHS, Xcel Energy and Medtronic around strategies used to successfully identify qualified veterans and integrate them into the workplace.
