It has been a busy year since I last posted. I do not speak on the video games track at Dragoncon, but do speak and moderate on the EFF track. Come join me at the Hilton Aug. 31 – Sept. 1 for:
Title: So You Want to Work in Public Policy…
Description: People don’t go into public policy because they want to be billionaires; they go into public policy because they care and want to make a difference. How does one get started making contributions in this area, and can it really be turned into a financially sustaining career path?
Time: Sat 11:30 am Location: 208-209 – Hilton (Length: 1 Hour)
Moderator / MC for panel
(Tentative Panelists: Erica Portnoy, Meredith Rose, Amie Stepanovich, Andrew Greenberg)

Title: Techlash: Anti-Technology Backlash
Description: As we focus more on the harms of pervasive technology in society, a lot of attention and blame has been placed worldwide on the largest tech companies in the U.S.A. Do these companies deserve the rap they are getting, and will breaking them up into smaller companies do anything to help?
Time: Sun 11:30 am Location: 208-209 – Hilton (Length: 1 Hour)
(Tentative Panelists: Meredith Rose, Amie Stepanovich, Jairus Khan, Andrew Greenberg)

Title: Double Feature: Dinkheller & 10 Rules for Dealing with Police Encounters
Description: We will look at police encounters from two different points of view, from that of the officer (Dinkheller), and from that of the person being stopped (10 Rules). A 360-degree view provides the best perspective for surviving a police encounter in today’s America. Panel discussion will follow.
Time: Sun 07:00 pm Location: 208-209 – Hilton (Length: 2.5 Hours)
