CHECK-IN AND REGISTRATION - Some people are worth melting for--Olaf
I made myself a snowball,
As perfect as could be,
I thought I'd keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas,
And a pillow for its head
Then last night it ran away,
But first - it wet the bed.

Are Your Projects in Cryogenics - Use Project Management to Thaw
Over the last several years, project management processes, tools and techniques for educational technology departments have become more prominent and, in many cases, invaluable for delivering a higher level of educational value that aligns technology projects with district and school educational goals. For the first hour of this workshop, we review and discuss important strategies for successful project management in an educational setting.

The second hour will be a time to work on a specific district or school project. Please come prepared with a project in mind that you can develop a plan and work on during this hour.

E2 for Schools - Device Lifecycles: Come in from the Cold & Join Our Heated Discussion
E2 for Schools and Brightstar are proposing a collaboration with School Districts across the State of Utah to design a unique program that reduces the pain of periodic updating of mission-critical mobile computing devices. The intent is to facilitate a reliable 24x7 technology environment and greatly reduce time-consuming demands on district IT staff.

Let’s make Device Refresh for schools as easy as your cell phone program!

E2 for Schools understands:

• Students, teachers, & staff need dependable devices in school and at home

• Educational institutions have limited financial and people resources

• IT talent is not a “sunk cost” and can be freed-up to support learning

• The total cost of ownership is more than the purchase price

Brightstar, a $9B US firm, chose E2 for Schools to offer its solutions

• Brightstar’s highly scalable operations process 80-million devices per year

• Brightstar’s portfolio: trade-ins, financing, protection, logistics, accessories

• Brightstar is Apple’s exclusive global partner for consumer device trade-ins

Once you set it up, it is automatic and worry free!

Genncomm "Networked AV" Cause Stone Cold Said So!
Networked AV systems in school settings are making a breakthrough. Classrooms are technology centers; auditorium presentations rival Broadway plays; video walls provide high schools the ability to host eSporting events and tournaments; and all of these demand more sophisticated control with simplified user interface. Our networked audiovisual control allows schools to integrate technology easily by utilizing specific VLANs which can be managed from anywhere on the district network. What used to require site visits to troubleshoot issues, solve system errors and reset equipment, can now be addressed and corrected off-site through a network device, saving money and time.

Demo our truly integrative IT design and see how all audio routing, processing and control functions take place in one unit, the Core. Because any input can be routed to any output without convoluted signal paths, this solution offers complete flexibility and simplifies system redundancy. Our design provides individual room control while still maintaining central control for IT. Increased functionality, simple user interface, and a scalable platform transform the way AV is incorporated into the education arena.

GENCOMM has over ten years of experience working with AV over IP technologies, and over 64 years in the industry. Networked audio processors use a suite of powerful tools that provide rock-solid performance. We back this by unrivaled service and support.

PDQ - Counting Snowflakes Is Fun To Do
PDQ Inventory gives system administrators a more in-depth look into their environment. You can see if all of your workstations are up to date, that end-users have the software they need, and they don’t have software they shouldn't have. Knowledge is every IT professional's best asset, and PDQ Inventory makes sure you have more than you could possibly use.

Ok, now you have all this knowledge, but you have to act on that information. BOOM! PDQ Deploy. All that software and patching information you collected for a pittance? Deploy lets you act on it to ensure all your systems are exactly how you want them. Your entire environment is now the envy of your peers.

Darktrace Gets You Thru All Dark Winter Nights - Cyber AI: Fighting Back with Autonomous Response
The digital enterprise is constantly expanding, with new IoT, cloud, and operational technologies all challenging traditional notions of cyber security. Safeguarding these evolving environments against machine-speed attacks has never been more difficult.

Yet the digital battleground now features its most formidable defender in Cyber AI — a self-learning technology that distinguishes friend from foe in order to thwart threats autonomously. With the Cyber AI Platform protecting your entire infrastructure in real time, it doesn’t matter whether the attack originates on a connected device, an industrial system, or in the cloud. Wherever it strikes, the AI fights back in seconds.

In this session, you’ll discover:

•Why only Autonomous Response can counter today’s machine-speed attacks
•Where advanced threat-actors exploit vulnerabilities in the cloud and IoT
•What achieving 100% visibility can reveal about your organization’s risk profile
•How the Cyber AI Analyst reduces the time spent triaging threats by 92%
