TPS: A *Very* Full Afternoon

March 26, 2008

Tech Policy Summit attendees had a full afternoon -- and plenty of opportunities to discuss hot-button topics in technology policy. Try as I might, I couldn't make it to everything I wanted to (because I still haven't found a way to clone myself and I'm operating on three hours of sleep).

Thank goodness there was plenty of caffeine and sugar sitting around to prolong the buzzzzzz.

Here's a quick rundown (*according to the most recent agenda):

The Role of Privacy & Trust in the Innovation Economy

- TRUSTe VP John Tomaszewski

Building a More Effective Public Policy Organization
