We often take for granted the state of the net today, but there's no guarantee that it will remain this way. Will the digital future be dystopian, or is there a brighter outlook ahead than some may believe? Our panelists -- thinkers and net visionaries -- will provide their perspectives on the future of the net, with backgrounds ranging from art, law, technology, politics, media, culture, and entrepreneurship. We will tap in to each speaker's knowledge to provide a unique vision of the digital future, and will engage with members of the audience to further the exploration of what lies ahead.
