Conference Spotlight: Spring 2007 VON Policy Summit
This Spring’s VON Policy Summit is designed to bring technologists, innovators, investors and entrepreneurs into the policy arena to share ideas and cross-pollinate with lobbyists, policymakers and advocates, in an effort to create a more favorable business and policy environment for Internet and communications innovation. We are committed to bringing the technology visionaries face-to-face with the policymakers and advocates. Too many great ideas are lost to the ages, as government crafts law and policy with a blind eye towards how best to advance technology for the public good.
