The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is pleased to announce it will serve as a primary sponsor of the 2nd annual Tech Policy Summit, taking place March 26-28, 2008, at the Renaissance Hollywood hotel in Southern California.
The Tech Policy Summit is the only executive conference of its kind with a focus of bringing together prominent leaders from the private and public sectors of the tech industry to examine critical policy issues impacting technology innovation and adoption in the United States and beyond.
The nonpartisan gathering provides an independent, balanced forum for learning and networking among an exclusive group of industry insiders, government officials, nonprofit leaders and academic experts who may have different perspectives but who share a common goal of enabling innovation.
Our mission is to bridge the gaps that sometimes exist, even between like-minded organizations with common goals, and to encourage more dialogue so that there is greater accord between what happens in D.C. and what matters within the technology industry.
The theme for the 2008 Summit is Markets in Transition: Collaborating to Drive Technology Innovation and Adoption, and sessions will focus on America's competitiveness in the global economy and the growing impact of convergence on the high tech, digital entertainment and communications industries.
BusinessWeek technology columnist Steve Wildstrom will emcee the Summit, and other renowned journalists including Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal and AllThingsD, Karen Tumulty of TIME magazine and Kai Ryssdal of the Marketplace radio show will participate as session hosts.
CompTIA is excited at the opportunity to become involved with an event that ultimately seeks to integrate the technology community into a more vocal and powerful force within the political and policy communities.
