The detailed, minute-by-minute schedule for this year’s third annual Personal Democracy Forum is now live. We’ve also added a bunch of exciting speakers, including Chellie Pingree, the president of Common Cause; Roger Simon, the co-founder of Pajamas Media; Bill McIntyre of Grassroots Enterprise and Juan Proano of PlusThree.
Two additional highlights: Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to add a plenary debate to the PDF program between leading advocates on both sides of the “net neutrality” issue. They are Susan Crawford, professor at Cardoza Law School and a member of the ICANN board; Stephen Effros, for thirty years a leading spokesman for the cable telecommunications industry; Timothy Karr, campaign director for Free Press; and Chris Wolf, co-chair of the Hands Off the Internet coalition. Moderating the debate will be NY Representative Anthony Weiner, making his second appearance at PDF.
And, to add icing to the cake, we’re very pleased that ABC News Political Director Mark halperin will be joining us to lead an intimate conversation with NY Attorney General, following his keynote address.
You’ll note from the schedule that we’ve got one additional keynoter whose name has yet to be revealed. We’re saving that surprise til next week…
There are still tickets available, but don’t wait til the last minute to register.
