Feds schedule PIV information sharing day

Monday, August 2, 2010

In order to share information about various deployments and uses of PIV credentials there will be an information sharing day for federal officials on Aug. 4. The purpose of the ICAM Information Sharing Day is to provide an forum for agencies to understand and share information related to implementation activities being taken by early adopters of ICAM programs.

The goal of the event is to share stories and information about early ICAM adopters and minimize the learning curve for other agencies. The information sharing day is sponsored by the CIO Council/ISIMC and USDA.


The ICAM Information Sharing Day will take place at the Jefferson Auditorium at the U.S. Department of Agriculture located at 14th and Independence Sts NW, in Washington, DC on Aug. 4, from 9:00 am till 4:00 pm.
