Innovation presented by Aneesh Chopra

"Our mission is to assist the President in harnessing the power and potential of technology, data and innovation to transform the Nation's economy and improve the lives of everyday Americans." – Aneesh Chopra, U.S. CTO

How is the Obama Administration managing innovation to help agencies achieve mission objectives, specifically in health IT and education? What is our government doing to encourage and facilitate new ideas? How can big ideas and the people that create them work better with the government?

Innovation, a keyword in the most recent Presidential State of the Union address, is one of the most critical elements to the United States' role in the global economy. Leveraging and fostering innovation is clearly a vital part of our government's mission. Join us for a stimulating morning conversation with the Federal CTO Aneesh Chopra and leaders in the health IT and education spaces, discussing the state of innovation in America.
