ICEG conference

Second International Conference on e-Government (ICEG 2006) to be held on October 12-13, 2006 at the Holiday Inn University Center. SIS faculty members Toni Carbo and Ken Sochats will serve as co-chairs for the conference, which includes keynote speaker Larry Olson, Chief Technology Officer, State of Texas and Former CIO, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The title of his talk is “e-Government—A View from the States, from Pennsylvania to Texas.”

As the rate of computer literacy increases around the world at an exponential rate, many governments (at all levels) have begun making many services (car registration and voting for example) available online. The development of this global e-Government environment has resulted in economic, political, and academic questions that must be addressed from both theoretical and practical points of view. The conference will feature an international group of presenters and practitioners who will share their research and practical experience in the field of e-Government. Additionally, the conference will sponsor mini-tracks on evaluating e-Government and e-Government in developing nations.
