Decade & Digital Inclusion: How do we define broadband?
November 2, 2022 @ 9:50 am - 10:50 am PDT
With nearly half the world unconnected and $42B in broadband infrastructure funding going out to states in the US right now, digital equity is center stage in the journey to bring opportunity to everyone. The Decade of Digital Inclusion brings together technologists, policymakers and digital inclusion advocates to create collaborations to bridge the digital divide.
Program highlights include:
- Vint and Shamina Singh of Mastercard’s Center for Inclusive Growth in a fireside chat about “Creating an Economy That Works for Everyone.”
- Vint will also lead a globally-oriented panel called “How Do We Define Broadband,” including Mei Lin, Christophe Diot of Google, and Matt Rantanen of the Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association.
- Sir David Payne of the University of Southampton will discuss “Bringing Digital Equity Into Tomorrow’s Technology” with technology innovators Siavash Alamouti, Marty Cooper, Taher Elgamal, and Henry Samueli.
- Entertainer and humanitarian Mehcad Brooks will share his thoughts on this unique moment in time where technology and consciousness are converging.
