This week, I'm attending 1105 Government Information Group's Virtualization, Cloud Computing & Green IT Summit in Washington, DC. The program is a mix of invited speakers, panels and professional education sessions, featuring both government IT and technology industry leaders. I'm interested in all three topic areas, so I'll be splitting my time across the tracks, as well as taking in the exhibition area.

This is the first Government cloud event I've covered. I'm interested to hear about the opportunities, successes, issues and concerns of this early adopting community. And of course, how those compare/contrast with enterprise IT adopters.

It's my understanding that wifi is limited, so I'll be semi-live blogging - live capture, delayed posting. If you are attending the conference and want to connect, ping me on Twitter.
