The panel will also include Gary Walter, president of Madison Gas and Electric; Matt Miszewski, CIO for the state of Wisconsin; and Marc Marotta, secretary for the Department of Administration.
Ill be presenting a couple anecdotes about working with CEOs of two companies, demonstrating how success worked in that relationship, Stockhausen said.
The conference will open with a presentation entitled Macro Consequences and Micro Consequences by Michael Knetter, dean of the UW-Madison School of Business. Knetter will discuss the impact that IT advances have had on increased U.S. productivity over the last ten years, as well as the environment it needs to continue providing this growth.
Rick Roy, chief technology officer of CUNA Mutual Group, will join Metavantes chief financial officer, Michael Hayford, for a presentation on bringing CIOs into the company boardroom, sharing their experiences on how it gives companies an extra edge.
Paragon Development Systems CEO Craig Schiefelbein will give a speech about the pressures in adding new technology to a business and the choice between insourcing and outsourcing.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
