IP Democracy: Can't Miss: Isen/Pulver Freedom-to-Connect Conference


I don’t usually make recommendations for conferences here, but there’s one coming up in DC that shouldn’t be missed. David Isenberg and Pulver.com have teamed to produce the second annual Freedom-to-Connect (F2C) conference and based on the speaker line-up and word-of-mouth from last year’s conference (I couldn’t attend but will definitely be there this year), no other event in Washington will come as close to setting the agenda on critical broadband policy developments as F2C.

Held in conjunction with Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, O’Reilly Media, Free Press, Public Knowledge, Tropos Networks, the VON Coalition, firstmile.us, Patriot.net and other organizations, associations and companies, this event is admittedly tilted toward those who favor net neutrality, but if history is any indication, everyone will be talking about F2C for months afterwards.

Update: After reading this entry, David Isenberg was so pleased with the unsolicited endorsement (as he notes, there is no financial relationship between us and the F2C conference) that he told me he would extend to IP Democracy readers a 50% discount off the registration price for the event. That’s a price of $295 vs. regular early bird at $595. To get this discount, go to http://www.pulver.com/f2c/ and make sure you enter the following code - FOBDL - to get your half-off registration fee. Thanks David!
