Vivek Kundra is one of the most connected and powerful thought leaders in the world today, providing his experience to assist globally with the transformation of modern governments.

Vivek was appointed as the first United States Chief Information Officer by President Obama. This accomplished visionary is credited with saving billions in taxpayer dollars, adopting game-changing technologies, strengthening the cybersecurity posture of the nation and launching an open government movement which has been replicated around the world.

His inaugural visit to Queensland provides a rare opportunity for business leaders to hear Vivek’s thought-provoking and often contentious views on how the private sector and governments can work differently to transform the economy, public sector service delivery and business through digital leadership.

At this exclusive event, Vivek will address:

• the implications between sectors of digital disruption
• enabling ‘real’ change and innovation
• citizen centric service delivery
• the need for better data and greater measurement
• the build versus buy debate
