Speaking at the Empower Change Summit for
American Democracy Institute
In November of last year, I was asked to be a New Media Panelist for the Empower Change Summit put on by American Democracy Institute. Hundreds of young people showed up at the UCLA Campus, and Pres. Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker!
In the picture above, Roy Sekoff, Founding Editor of the Huffington Post and I discuss open source development and how the digital media platform is changing the way we receive information.
Recently, in Feb 2008 I had the pleasure of being invited to and ADI Leadership Forum where some of the nation’s top young leaders and activists in various fields from academia, business, government, non-profit, and media gathered at the Google Campus. I was also asked to introduce the keynote speaker Mitch Kapor, creator of Lotus, Second Life, and one of the guys behind the Mozilla Foundation. Basically this dude IS the Silicon Valley Elite.
