Enterprise Architecture Conference

& ExpoMay 2 – Washington D.C.

nterprise Architecture has become one of the pillars of the federal IT world to help make operations run smoothly, seamlessly and maneuver easily. No matter what technology is touted, or how service oriented and agile the applications are -- especially cloud-based or SAAS

environments – technology systems must be designed and implemented to support the business or mission and enable processes. If integrated IT systems don't work or fail, the business or mission may be in jeopardy. The only insurance any enterprise or organization has is a fully articulated and

robust EA program. Although every agency has an Enterprise Architecture now, it is not something that can be

simply deployed and then forgotten. EA must be kept current and every agency must regularly evaluate how it is working in order to avoid damaging the enterprise or jeopardizing secure network systems.

Digital Govermnent Institute's 12th

annual EA Event, which is free for

government professionals, will help teach attendees how to keep EA plans vibrant,

useful and up to speed for today's challenges. John A. Zachman, the originator of the “Framework for Enterprise Architecture” (The Zachman Framework™) will be the keynote speaker. The conference and exposition will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building's Pavillion room in Washington D.C.

Located northeast of downtown Denver, a cab or shuttle ride puts you in the heart of the city in about 25 minutes. Taxis are available at DIA and provide passenger transport service within the eight counties that make up the Denver metro area, and hotel shuttles are provided as a courtesy by most of the hotels within the immediate vicinity of the airport. The DIA even works with various rental car companies to

provide transportation to its customers. All rental car companies are located on airport property, but are away from the main terminal. However, each company provides a courtesy shuttle to and from Jeppesen Terminal from its location. The city's public transport system, Regional Transportation District (RTD), also operates five bus routes under the frequent airport express bus service called skyRide. Ground Transportation

Denver offers a wide array of ground transportation options, from public transportation, trains, car rentals, and taxi, limo, and shuttle services.

The easiest and cheapest way to get around the city is by getting on Denver's main bus system,

the Regional Transportation District. For only $2.25 for a fare, the RTD offers almost 100 local

routes. The bus system also offers regional routes that take you to other areas of Colorado. You can also head to the station and ride the Light Rail. The RTD light rail system is divided into four fare zones: A, B, C and D. The number of zones you travel in for each one-way trip determines your fare. Arriving trains stop at every station, so you don’t have to signal the driver. Most of the RTD light rail stations have park-n-Ride lots where you can park for free. Bus routes and/or call-n-Rides also serve many stations. For more information on routes, fares, and schedules, check out www.rtd-denver.com.

Denver Weather

Denver weather is generally mild and dry. But when you are determining what to pack for your trip to Denver, you should still consider the weather. During the fall and spring, Denver will typically have sunny days with cool evenings, so medium weight clothing such as a comfortable pantsuit for women or a lightweight jacket for men will be most appropriate. In the summer, cool, casual clothing is ideal for the warm, sunny days in Denver. Evenings can be cool and summer storms can arise suddenly so an umbrella or light jacket might be needed. During the winter, days are generally a combination of warm sun and crisp air. Daytime temperatures can vary from below freezing to above 60 degrees, so it is a good idea to pack layers of medium weight clothing together with a warm jacket or overcoat. Snow falls infrequently in Denver and usually disappears quickly; however, a pair of boots would come in handy.

Off the Clock: For business travelers off the clock, Denver offers a wide range of fun activities including scenic hikes, live music, and nightclubs.

Outdoor Activities

Marlowe's is a popular spot for business professionals to mingle. Located on Denver's 16th Street mall, where street people frequently cross paths with the titans of commerce, Marlowe's is a great place for people-watching. The establishment specializes in classic mixed drinks and wine, but it also offers outstanding appetizers and dinner specials. For a night in town, you can also head to the South of Colfax Nightlife

District (www.coclubs.com), where you pay one admission price for entrance into four hot nightclubs, each complete with drinks, dancing and Djs. If you are looking for a classier evening, head over to Cruise Room, Lower Downtown Denver's classiest cocktail lounge for drinks that are shaken, stirred, or over the rocks. The bar's neon lighting project vivid hues of pink and purple onto the walls, making it look like dusk at all the time. Little has changed about the popular venue since it re-opened the day after prohibition was repealed in 1933.

Music Lovers Rejoice

No trip to Denver is complete without experiencing some live music. Denver’s is home to dozens of venues devoted to all genres and styles, from classic jazz to techno to rock and roll and beyond. Colfax

Avenue is home to such beloved concert locales as the Fillmore, the Ogden and the Bluebird.

Transportation: Many Las Vegas hotels are so close that delegates can walk to many destinations. When transportation is required, however, Las Vegas offers myriad options including bus, taxi, shuttles and monorail. Airport - The easiest route into Las Vegas is via air. Commercial and charter airlines arrive at McCarran International Airport, centrally located on the west side of town. The McCarran Executive Terminal and Henderson Executive Airport, a few minutes south in Henderson, serve corporate jet traffic.

Ground transportation from the airport and around town consists of airport-based rental car agencies, hotel limousines, shuttles, taxis and the Las Vegas Monorail, which services McCarran. Visitors arriving by car travel Interstate 15 from California and Utah or Route 93 from Arizona. Rental Cars – Most of what happens in Las Vegas happens on the Strip or Downtown, and almost everything is a short cab, limo, tram or monorail-ride away. For business in neighboring areas, we recommend a rental car. Most national car rental chains such as Avis, Budget and Hertz can be found at the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. Some have several locations at most of the major resorts on the Strip, such as Avis at Aria,Bellagio, The Palazzo and The Venetian, and several have lots on Fremont Street. Taxis and Shuttles – Taxis are metered and most will accept credit card payments. A ride from the airport to the top of the Strip will run you about $17, but expect to pay approximately $25 for a trip Downtown. For those willing to share an airport shuttle with up to 20 passengers, a ride to a destination on the Strip can cost less than $10. On a side note, when leaving the airport by taxi or shuttle, please insist that your driver avoid taking the 215 airport tunnel to get to the Strip (this longer route can add $10 to $15 to your fare). Monorail – The Las Vegas Monorail stops at the Las Vegas Convention Center and travels the entire length of the east side of the Strip from the Sahara Station (at Paradise Rd. and Sahara Ave., the site of the now-closed Sahara Hotel) to the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. It runs between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday through Sunday. A single ride costs $5, an all day pass costs $12 and passes for three days are available for $28. Be prepared to do some walking though, as all of the stations (save for one) are located a bit of a distance from most major resorts and hotels. Trams – Three free trams are located on the west side of the Strip, on the opposite side of the monorail's route. Trams connect Treasure Island to the Mirage Hotel, the Monte Carlo to the Las Vegas CityCenter and theBellagio, and the Excalibur to the Luxor and the Mandalay Bay.

By Air: Getting to Orlando is quick and easy with a constantly-growing list of non-stop routes to both of the area's airports, Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Sanford Orlando International Airport (SFB). The MCO is Florida's busiest airport located in Southeast Orlando and lands you closest to all that Central Florida has to offer, including the Orange County Convention Center less than 3 miles away. It is serviced by all major car rental carriers, most of which have desks and vehicles at the main terminal.

By Car: The main highways in Orlando are Interstate 4, the East-West Expressway (Toll 408), the Beachline (Toll 528), the Central Florida Greeneway (Toll 417), and the Florida Turnpike. In Orlando there are many different highways and major roadways that will get you around the city. Traffic can be a nightmare on I-4 since it is primary highway in Orlando, especially during rush hours. Also be sure to bring lots of spare change for the toll roads, unless you have an E-Pass (or Sun Pass).

Public Transportation: Lynx is Orlando's public transportation system, there is a sub-station at the airport, with direct services to various areas including DownTown Orlando and the International Drive resort area. Other places can be reached by making (free) transfers. Standard bus fare is $2 per person one way. You can get daily passes on the bus ($4.50) and weekly passes for $16. LYNX also offers a free bus system within Downtown Orlando called LYMMO. For more information about routes and schedules, visit www.golynx.com.

By Shuttle: Shuttle services are available when traveling to/from the airport, and are affordable alternatives to taxis and luxury sedans. There are various companies offering shuttle service on a continual basis (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), including Orlando Airport Van, Mears Transportation, and Super Shuttle among others. Individual rates vary depending on the provider, but generally range between $10 and $30.

By Taxi: Taxis and pedicabs are convenient ways to get around Orlando. Pedicab pick-up and drop-off areas will be well-marked and will vary based on show activity. A taxi ride to the Orange County Convention Center — the nation's 2nd largest convention complex and the center of Orlando's economic activity costs approximately $32. From the Convention Center, it costs about $29 to Downtown Orlando, $8 to International Drive/”Restaurant Row”, $34 to Epcot/Disney, and $11 to North International Drive/ Belz Factory Outlet Mall.

Orlando Weather

The weather in Orlando is typically mild, with year-round sun, an average annual temperature of 72 degrees, and a mostly dry climate from October to May. The summer months bring high humidity, a hot sun, and afternoon thunderstorms so pack hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, light clothing and perhaps a rain poncho for those summer showers. The early fall months is still very warm but far less humid. The weather tends to be very nice in November. Winter in Orlando is generally pleasant – chilly to locals, but warm to people who visit from cold weather regions. Pack long pants, light layers, and a couple heavier jackets or sweaters. As spring arrives, the temperature in Orlando begin

One of the most common misconceptions about Orlando is that it’s only a place for families. While Orlando may be a mecca for families flocking to Disney World during the day, once night falls, Orlando transforms into a different town filled with pubs, restaurants, bars, and live entertainment.

Universal CityWalk is always a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. The 30-acre entertainment complex offers something for everyone – from mini-golf to shopping stores to nightclubs and restaurants to cinemas. CityWalk also hosts a variety of concerts and special events throughout the year.

For a night out: check out Orlando's downtown scene. Nightclubs such as Independent Bar epitomize the lively spirit of the city. This hotspot features a different musical genre each night, from retro 70s and 80s to indie rock to top 40 music. Not only does the nightspot have three bars and a dance floor, it also has an outdoor patio with a gorgeous view of downtown Orlando.

For a classier ambiance: head to the Bösendorfer Lounge is another favorite among the locals. The Lounge at the Grand

Bohemian Hotel provides a stylish, big-city atmposphere in which to unwind after a long business day. Just steps away from the regional centers of government and commerce, the lounge also offers an impressive opportunity to network with local elites. The Bosendorfer Longe is a great place to sip wine and enjoy the sounds of the Imperial Grand Bösendorfer Piano, one of only a handful in the world. Guests enjoy live entertainment and signature dishes as a fanciful harlequin figurine spins atop the round bar, decorated in black marble, red stones and mirror pieces. Every Friday and Saturday night, Lounge visitors enjoy classic soul and acid jazz music.

Explore Orlando's natural beauty: Book a tour at Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour. This hour-long tour along the Winter Park chain of lakes provides glimpse of Orlando untouched by Disney's Imagineers. The boat takes you through the true beauty of Winter Park which includes Rollins College, Kraft Azalea Gardens, Isle of Sicily, tropical birds, plants, flowers and magnificent mansions. A ride on the boat only costs $10.

Dining in Orlando Recommendations for a Business Meeting

Del Frisco's Prime Steak & Lobster

As one of Orlando's oldest steakhouses, Christner’s Del Frisco’s Prime Steak & Lobster is the place to go for executive-style dining. The high-end restaurant, located 20 minutes away from the Orange County Convention Center, provides eight private dining rooms at no extra cost, and have become a popular venue for holiday parties, business meetings/dinners, and other special occasions. Here, the décor is rich, the ambiance is intimate and classy, and the steaks are all prime-aged, corn-fed and are cut fresh to order.

Pizzeria Valdiano If you are looking for a quick bite on a budget, look no further than Pointe Orlando, situated just across the Orange County Convention Center. The shopping center offers 17 dining choices including national franchises like Johnny Rockets and Hooters.
