The ABCs of NASCIO 2017 - analytics, blockchain, and cybersecurity - dominated the conversation against a backdrop of change and speculation.  Is there enough momentum for state CIOs to finish strong before the next election cycle and what does it mean that the National Governors Association (NGA) is taking a direct hand in analyzing the future of technology in state government.

On the season premiere of Not Safe For Government, we have a full retrospective on NASCIO 2017 - the technologies, the prospects, the problems and the politics.  Hosts Dustin Haisler and Paul Taylor are joined by Government Technology editors Noelle Knell and Lauren Harrison along with Research VP "Joe Knows" Morris and Teri Takai, Director of the Center for Digital Government, who has a long history with NASCIO and a keen sense of the mood in the public sector IT community.
