Celebrating 29 years of GCN showcasing excellence in government IT, the GCN dig IT Awards ("dig IT" stands for Discovery and Innovation in Government IT) shine the spotlight on what matters most: transformative tech that is truly reinventing government and the pioneering IT professionals who are driving them forward.

2017 Award categories include: Big Data, Analytics & Visualization; Cybersecurity; Cloud & Infrastructure; Mobile; Robotics and Unmanned Systems – plus an award for the disruptive technologies that are emerging so quickly they don't fit into existing categories.

"Government doesn't get nearly enough credit for its innovative use of IT," GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "With the dig IT Awards, we get to shine a light on the boundary-pushing projects that are in the works at all levels of public sector."

At the Gala, 1105 Public Sector Media Group will also honor individual employees from the public and private sectors as FCW's 2017 Rising Stars.

President’s and Eagle Award Winners Honored at Annual Federal 100 Gala

Untitled Document

(MCLEAN, VA., March 31, 2017)- FCW, an 1105 Media, Inc. brand, announced the recipients of the esteemed President's and Eagle Awards at the sold out 28th annual Federal 100 Awards Gala held on March 30th at The Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C.

The Federal 100 Awards are presented each year to government and industry leaders celebrating the achievements of the individuals who have gone above and beyond their daily duties to make a difference in the community they serve.

Lesley Field, the President's Award winner, was recognized for her work as an unsung hero who has served as the acting head of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy in the Office of Management and Budget four times for a total of 34 months and counting – longer than a number of recent administrators.

The Eagle Award is presented to two honorees, one from government and one from industry, who are considered the best-in-class for 2017 whose contributions are felt throughout the federal IT community. The award for the government category went to Dave Powner, the Government Accountability Office's director of IT management issues, and the industry award went to David Moskovitz, Chief Executive for Accenture Federal Services.

"A central theme of the Federal 100 awards is that people are the most precious IT commodity," FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "Lesley and both Daves are especially good examples of that. " "In this time of transition for government, it is important to recognize the contributions of career civil servants and their industry partners who provide the knowledge and continuity that are essential to success in a new administration."

Detailed winner profiles are featured on FCW.com, and appear in the March 30 print and digital issues of FCW.

Bi-Coastal Event Series Examines Evolving Role of Analytics in National Security Decisions

(VIENNA, VA., February 14, 2017) -- FCW, Defense Systems and technical partner Booz Allen Hamilton announce the launch of a new bi-coastal event series focused on the evolving role of analytics in national security.  The topic for both events will be Analytics Supporting National Security:  Advanced Capabilities for Better Decision-Making with the initial morning event occurring March 21 at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City in Arlington, VA.

Increasingly, government and military leaders are leveraging advanced analytic tools in new ways -- addressing a broader range of problems, gaining deeper levels of understanding and reducing overall cost. This event will bring together government and military leaders and experts to examine how advanced analytics provides not only the insight, but the foresight needed for effective decision-making in national security matters.

"It's been fascinating to watch the government embrace analytics in recent years, and move from basic measurement and monitoring to true predictive analytics," said Troy K. Schneider, Editor-in-Chief, FCW and GCN. "Now we're seeing some agencies explore prescriptive analytics, using the data to suggest the best course of action.  This has tremendous potential, but requires a very different way of thinking about problems and mission goals." 

"Defense and intelligence leaders recognize that the power of analytics can enable timely and accurate decision making. This event series will further drive that discussion with real-world examples and identify paths forward in thinking about how to apply analytics to better support different missions," said Mark Jacobsohn, Senior Vice President and Lead, Data Science and Machine Intelligence within Booz Allen Hamilton's Strategic Innovation Group (SIG).

For more information on the March 21 event, visit: https://fcw.com/analytics or contact: editor@fcw.com

The second event in this series will take place in San Diego; more details will be announced shortly.
