WHO'S CFP? SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT BIRDS OF A FEATHER SESSIONS A MACHINE ROOM TUTORIALS REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MARCH 14 CONNECTING TO CFP'95 WHO'S CFP?
Do you belong at the Fifth Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy (CFP'95) which takes place March 28-31, 1995 in Burlingame, California?
You do if you are concerned about the definition of rights, and the processes by which they are being defined, now that computer and telecommunications technologies have become part of mainstream living, conversation, and politics. CFP'95 participants will include people from the fields of computer science, business, public policy, government, law enforcement, research, information, health, law, civil liberties, library science, education, social science, and many others.
Among the early registrants: The president of an East Coast software developer, a Canadian government official, a former general counsel of IBM, a computer science professor from MIT, a high school history teacher, an attorney from Italy, a partner from a major Silicon Valley law firm, an anthropologist, the CEO of a British software company, and an exchange student from Russia.
CFP'95 offers a much-needed neutral ground, a demilitarized zone, where people from widely different backgrounds and positions can learn from each other. Like past Computers, Freedom and Privacy conferences, CFP'95 will be a place where information industry executives talk to concerned end users, law enforcement officials talk to civil rights advocates, information systems managers talk to legal and security experts. and more. This interaction, and the mutual understanding it promotes, will shape the future.
SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT
Gain new insights from the different perspectives offered by the CFP'95 speakers, as well as the participants.
A business viewpoint will come from keynote speaker John Morgridge, chairman of Cisco Systems. Social implications will be assessed by Roger Wilkins a Pulitzer Prize-winning commentator for National Public Radio and Professor of History and American Culture at George Mason University. New ways of thinking about property rights in the computer and computer communications world will be offered by Margaret Jane Radin, a Stanford Law School professor and expert on property law and political philosophy. Computers, freedom, and privacy in the big emerging markets of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union will be analyzed by Esther Dyson, a recognized expert on that region's computer industry and co-chair of the National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council's Information Privacy and Intellectual Property Subcommittee.
