Happy 250th birthday, America. In this special shortened Fourth of July episode of The GIST of Govt IT, Brian and Sean keep it snackable for the beach-and-boat crowd — kicking off with a debate over favorite founding fathers before turning to a rundown of the GIST 360 summer event lineup. Sean previews what's coming: a July 14 breakfast briefing at the National Press Club on securing the converged IT/OT/IoT enterprise; a mid-year federal IT priority-setting session featuring a fireside chat with CISA Director Nick Andersen, an ATARC roundtable on operationalizing continuous threat exposure management, as well as several webinars on deck. If you want to know where federal IT leaders are placing their bets for the last stretch of the fiscal year, this is your map to the conversations that matter. Plus a kite-surfing Ben Franklin!
