Richard DeMillo (Georgia Tech College of Computing) gave an overview of how the educational technology landscape has shifted over the past 15 years, and Darryl Lemecha (ChoicePoint) spoke briefly about the importance of encouraging CIOs to buy from local providers when possible in order to grow Georgia’s economy. Seen in the crowd were Ed Godshall (American Fiber Systems), Frank Bell and Rebecka Turner (Intellinet), Dana Kruse (Deloitte), John Dunbar (EMS Technologies), Marian Lucia (Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta), Guido Sacci (CompuCredit), Brian Shield (The Weather Channel), John Seral (GE Energy), and Steve Winterbottom (Scientific-Atlanta).
