Destination: Aspen
As you might have guessed from Sunday's night's introductory post, Technology Daily's own Heather Greenfield is in Aspen, Colo. this week for the Progress & Freedom Foundation's annual conference. The event is one of my favorite outside-the-Beltway gatherings for Washington insiders.
This year's speakers include Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Harvard Economist Dale Jorgenson, FTC Commissioner William Kovacic, FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell, Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe and many others.
PFF Acting President Tom Lenard promised that "all the major issues that are very contentious will be discussed" -- including the FCC's 700 MHz auction, copyright issues, patent reform, online child safety issues and privacy. "The interplay between industry, government and academics produces fascinating discussions," he said in a press release.
Heather will be filing stories for the PM Edition over the next few days and contributing to the blog when she's not busy schmoozing at the swanky St. Regis Hotel, the location for the yearly assembly. The forecast in Aspen for the next few days is plenty of sun with highs in the low 80s. I hope she finds time to for an afternoon hike or two.
