Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel is expected to elaborate on a new set of mobile government initiatives during a speech scheduled this Friday that will be broadcast live over the Internet by the trade group AFFIRM and by Breaking Gov.

The broadcast will appear on AFFIRM’s website and carried by Breaking Gov on this page Jan. 13, beginning at noon eastern standard time. (A recorded version of VanRoekel’s remarks are now available here.)

VanRoekel announced his 2012 “Roadmap for Federal Mobility” during a conference at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Jan. 11 and described what he called “The Mobile Opportunity” in a White House blog issued the following day.

Calling 2012 “the year of mobile government,”VanRoekel outlined a series of initiatives designed to accelerate the adoption of mobile technology by federal agencies during 2012.

Chief among the initiatives, he said, are new national dialogue website to gather ideas from industry as part of a push to develop new strategies over the next 60 days and to develop a acquisition vehicle supporting mobile adoption within the next 180 days.

VanRoekel, who will address an audience of government IT executives in Washington, is expected to speak about these and other federal IT initiatives at a luncheon address being hosted by the Association for Federal Information Resource Management. Breaking Gov will be broadcasting and recording the event.
