You may have stumbled across Agate Beach on your way to Newport, but it’s easy to pass through with hardly a glance. However, on October 16th, every telecommunications and Internet luminary in the state will show up to hear from one of the guys who can truly call himself “one of the fathers of the internet.” Vinton Cerf, co-designer of TCP/IP, and long standing Internet evangelist, will present the keynote presentation at this year’s Oregon Connections Telecommunications Conference www.oregonconnections.info. Vint will also participate in a panel addressing Oregon’s Broadband policy. Representatives from the public and private sector organizations from around the state, including yours truly will discuss the matter.
This session leads a 1-1/2 day event that explores a variety of telcomm and Internet issues affecting the state. Anyone can attend, and it’s a great way to learn more about what’s going on and network with folks that you might not otherwise have easy access too, in a relaxed setting.
I hope to see you there.
