Today, Thursday February 9 2017 the Open Technology Institute will host a half-day forum The Next Three Billion - Initiatives to Bring the Whole World Online in Washington DC. More than four billion people are as yet unconnected around the world. To address the challenge of getting three out of four of them online, one panel will examine “moon shot” global innovations, and another, local community-based networking strategies. Speakers include Manu Bhardwaj, Megan Smith, Chris Yoo, Steve Song, and Robert Pepper. The event will be webcast live on the New America YouTube Channel.

Unlike NYC, where Thursday has been essentially canceled, snow will be light in DC so this looks like a go. Along with the regulars noted below, there will be reps from Google, Microsoft, & Facebook. A great 'state of connectivity' event.
