Computers, Freedom, and Privacy - 18th Annual Conference

This election year will be the first to address U.S. technology policy in the information age as part of our national debate. Candidates have put forth positions about technology policy and have recognized that it has its own set of economic, political, and social concerns.

In the areas of privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and freedom of speech, an increasing number of issues once confined to experts now penetrate public conversation. Debate about these issues needs to be better-informed in order for us to make policy choices in the public interest.

The 18th annual Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference will focus on what constitutes technology policy. The gathering is an opportunity to help shape public debate on those issues being made into laws and regulations and those technological infrastructures being developed.

Open participation is invited for proposals on panels, tutorials, speaker suggestions, and birds of a feather sessions through the CFP: Technology Policy '08 submission page.

Please read the submission guidelines and the event homepage for general conference information.
