Freedom to Connect is Back!

Date: 20 Jan 2012 | posted in: MuniNetworks | 0 Facebooktwitterredditmail

One of the great conferences, Freedom to Connect, is back for 2011! I'll be in Washington, DC, (well, Silver Spring to be accurate) on May 21-22 to mingle with and learn from a lot of great people that have helped to create the Internet of today and are creating the Internet of tomorrow.

Very early bird registration is now open but ends on January 31.

Confirmed keynote speakers include Vint Cerf, Cory Doctorow, Rebecca MacKinnon, and Aaron Swartz. The program is still being put together - check in from time to time to catch the latest updates.

We'll be talking about community broadband in addition to myriad other issues where democracy intersects with communication.
