What's Next for the Net?

The Internet is forty years old but still evolving-at an accelerating
pace. According to some forecasters, in the next ten years we will see even more growth and new applications than we've seen in the last forty. Entire industries will be transformed. The Internet of Things connecting hundreds of billions of devices and sensors, new mobile applications, Cloud computing, and virtual worlds are just a few of the "game changers" that ubiquitous, high-speed networks will enable.

But with these opportunities come new challenges. Will competing
companies work together on critical standards or try to lock in
customers using proprietary software? Will efforts to address Internet security vulnerabilities be more successful than the hackers who seek to exploit them?

Join us for an informal, wide-ranging discussion of where the Internet is headed.

Discussion Leaders:

    + Leslie Daigle, Chief Internet Technology Officer, Internet Society
    + Eric Burger, Chief Technology Officer, Neustar
    + Steve Crocker, Internet pioneer and CEO, Shinkuro, Inc.

Moderator:

    + Michael R. Nelson, Visiting Professor, Internet Studies,
       CCT Georgetown University
