July 23, 2013 – The closing luncheon at this year’s Technology Policy Institute Aspen Forum, scheduled for August 18 – 20, will feature “A Conversation with the Commissioners,” with FTC Commissioners Julie Brill and Joshua Wright. The Federal Trade Commission has found itself increasingly in the spotlight on high profile technology policy issues including privacy and data security, competition and antitrust, and intellectual property protection. The discussion, which will be moderated by Politico technology reporter Tony Romm, will touch on these and other issues.
The TPI Aspen Forum brings together leaders from business, government, and academia to discuss key public policy issues affecting information and communications technology. This year’s theme is, “Creative Destruction and Growth: Policy Choices.” Confirmed speakers and panelists include Evan Kwerel, Senior Economic Advisor at the Federal Communications Commission; FTC Commissioner Joshua Wright; R. Stanton Dodge, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Dish Network; Robert W. Crandall, TPI Adjunct Senior Fellow and Nonresident Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution; Christopher Yoo, Director of Center for Technology, Innovation & Competition at University of Pennsylvania Law School; Speek Founder and CTO Danny Boice; and Lisa Falzone, Founder and CEO of Revel Systems.
