Name:
Donald Upson
Title:
Partner
Organization:
Upson Technology Group
The conversationalist. Upson, who is winning his seventh Federal 100 award this year, has always valued the importance of interactions and the sharing of ideas between government and technology leaders. His CES Government Conference — part of CES, the largest technology conference in the world — brings together technology leaders from 12 governments around the world, CIOs and executives from 30 federal agencies, and industry change agents for uncommonly candid discussions on innovative ways to solve the problems facing government. Those experts share solutions that have worked elsewhere and can be applied to government challenges, and the partnerships they forge continue well beyond those meetings.
