Reid Hoffman: Founder of LinkedIn

Michael R. Nelson: Adviser to the Obama campaign on technology issues, Professor, Internet Studies,Georgetown UniversityCraig Newmark, the founder of CraigsList, also made a guest appearance and spoke at the reception afterwards.

The central theme that stood out to me in all of the conversations was the shift in the global workforce and the positioning of our country in competitiveness.
