Prior to working in federal government, Payton held executive roles in banking technology at Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

Theresa will cover topics such as the fact that people today have an offline reputation and image, but are increasingly creating one or more online personas. Their online image is having an impact on them in many ways.

•             Employers are hiring and firing based on people’s online activities.

•             Global terrorists are using anything they can find on social media to find weak spots.

•             Criminals are using online identities to abuse or steal from victims.

•             Protecting Your Internet Identity: Are you Naked Online? helps readers understand the implications of their online personas, how they may be putting themselves at risk, and how to take charge of this important new aspect of their lives for career and personal success.

Theresa will also lead a Q&A session to make sure key questions are answered. All registrants will receive a signed copy of Theresa’s book along with lunch.

Major General Julian (JB) Burns will moderate the Tactical Energy Forum at the NC Federal Advanced Technologies Symposium on May 9, 2013.   The Tactical Energy Forum will discuss energy and power solutions to improve a tactical unit’s sustainability and mission effectiveness while operating in an austere environment.  Solutions should address minimizing weight and size of power sources, alternate fuel sources that are more readily available in less developed countries, and/or sources that have a greater life span.

Below you will find a biography on MG (Ret) Julian (JB) Burns.

Major General Julian (JB) Burns, is a retired Army Major General, former VP Defense Affairs in BAE Systems (USA) and a Member of SPECTRUM Group.

General Burns retired in January 05 after some 3 decades of Army Service in the USA, Korea, Europe, the Balkans, Israel, Iraq, and in the Arabian Peninsula — last serving as Deputy Commanding General/Chief of Staff for Army Forces Command responsible for the Homeland Defense of the USA in disaster relief and in response to 9-11; as Chief of Ops and Plans for NATO in the Mediterranean and the Balkans; and, as Commanding General of a Joint Task Force in Operation DESERT FOX in Israel.

Joining BAE he oversaw security markets in Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, NATO and in home markets in the USA, UK, Sweden and South Africa – with a scope ranging from all the guns for the Navy, Coast Guard, Army and Coast Guard; all the tracked vehicles in the Army and Marines except the tank; and the range of medium, light and mine protected (MRAP) tactical wheeled vehicles.

JB holds a Bachelors Degree from West Point as a Cavalry Officer, with Airborne-Ranger qualifications; a Master’s Degree in ORSA/Systems Management from the University of Southern California; and, is a graduate of the Army War College.

Why should you exhibit at the North Carolina Federal Advanced Technologies Symposium (NCFATS)? What will that do for my company?

First, you and your business will be seen among the forward-thinking leaders in North Carolina; those that see and take on the challenge to think outside the box and see a vision of the future direction in one or more of the eight different technology areas in which North Carolina is either a leader or top contender in the world.

Second, you, your products and your business will be seen by the military’s Science & Technology Officers who know the needs for products and services in their commands, and you will have the opportunity to explain what your company offers that could be beneficial to them.

Third, you will have the opportunity to meet and showcase your business to senior managers from successful companies doing business in the federal sector, and learning where your company might help them.

Last, you will hear from and showcase your business to senior military leaders who are stationed on North Carolina bases about their current environment, sequestration, requirements and future needs as they execute their assigned missions.

Do not miss the opportunity; it comes only once a year! Register now;

Why would you want to be a panelist at the North Carolina Federal Advanced Technology Symposium (NCFATS)? What will that do for your company.

First, serving as a panelist will provide you the opportunity to present your technologies to the Science and Technology scouts for the major commands in North Carolina, as well as to other businesses developing technologies with military or homeland security applications. Your technology may meet a current or emerging military technology requirement, or an S&T scout may suggest augmenting or modifying your technology slightly to meet a technology requirement or to complement another technology already in the military inventory.

Secondly, presenting your technology will expose your business and your capabilities to large businesses already in the military and federal market. Your technology may fill a gap these system integrators have in meeting military requirements, and make your business an ideal candidate for a teaming arrangement with an existing federal contractor.

Finally, the business panelists for the Symposium will form the core from which presenters will be selected to present in more detail during quarterly meetings of the S&T officers.  The only charge for this opportunity will be the charge to attend the NCFATS on May 9.  Each quarterly meeting is limited to three presentations from invited companies, principally chosen from the presenters at NCFATS.  There is no charge to present at the quarterly meeting, and, if selected, you have the opportunity to spend a half-day with the S&T Officers, to include morning coffee, breaks and lunch.  If you have a great new technology, there is no better way to promote it to the military in North Carolina than to present it at the Symposium and at the NCMBC-and partner-sponsored quarterly meetings.

You should consider a self-nomination now. When all the positions are filled, the opportunity will pass for another year. Nominate your business today by visiting: http://www.ncmbc.us/2013NCFATS/event.php.
