Eric Schmidt, chairman and chief executive officer of Internet giant Google, will speak Tuesday on “What’s Ahead: Technology, Economic Growth and Open Government.” During his address to the New America Foundation, Schmidt will discuss the need to build a 21st century infrastructure, support for research and innovation, repairs to the U.S. education system, and ways to make government more open and responsive. Schmidt, who is on the foundation's board, is said to be in the running to serve as the nation’s chief technology officer -- a position that President-elect Barack Obama envisioned as part of his technology policy platform. Schmidt threw his support behind Obama in the final weeks of the campaign and is on the transition team's economic advisory board. Learn more about this event here.
