U.S. Department of Labor Vendor Expo

This is a unique opportunity to exhibit at this secure location because the Department of Labor (DoL) only allows one exposition per year. Last year's event was one of the best on-site expos of the year in terms of attendee numbers and CIO participation. For 2013, the CIO's office is very enthusiastic about sponsoring the expo; attendance from this office is always encouraged and consistently high. All DoL building personnel will be invited; however, there is an emphasis on the IT staff.

About the CIO's Office
The Office of the Chief Information Officer has the following roles at DoL: implementation of the Clinger-Cohen Act; laws relating to the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Computer Security Act of 1987 as amended, and other laws, regulations, and guidance. The Secretary of Labor sets priorities and provides guidance for the overall efforts of CIO programs.

Specific areas of responsibility of the CIO include: Information Technology (IT) Management: encompassing enterprise architecture, plans, and accountability for our IT investments and results; Information Management to limit the amount of information required from the public and to report progress in restricting paperwork to that required by law or other essential need; Information Security to protect the availability of the Department's computer systems, the integrity of business operations, and the confidentiality of sensitive information; and Information Quality Guidelines oversight and maintenance to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information, including statistical information, disseminated by the Department.
