It's August, and the House is already in its summer recess -- with several legislators heading for the Other Coast. On Wednesday, House Energy and Commerce Communications Subcommittee Chairman Rick Boucher, D-Va., and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. -- both of whom are also co-chairmen of the Congressional Internet Caucus -- will be in Silicon Valley at the third annual State of the Net West conference at Santa Clara University. They'll be joined by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Aneesh Chopra, the Obama administration's chief technology officer.
The event, which draws a range of scholars, public interest advocates and industry executives, is organized by the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee and is an offshoot of a similar conference held annually in Washington. The conference begins a couple of days after a visit to Stanford University by newly installed FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, who will discuss telemedicine and health information technology along with Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif. Read more about this week's tech policy events at CongressDaily's TechCentral site here (subscription required).
