The Internet as a Public Good Symposium

The Internet as Public Good Symposium is a small, experimental and invitation-only event sponsored by The Berkman Center for Internet & Society @ Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School and The Mozilla Foundation

The symposium will explore the meaning and future of the Net as a public good through a combination of discussions and case studies. During this first edition of the symposium, we hope to view the Net as a public good through the lenses of art, business, culture, economics, government, science and technology.

The goal of the event is to develop an actionable understanding of the role of a near-global network in a near-global society.

We are currently seeking the participation of people who understand the issues, who can speak for those affected by them, and who can influence the global discussion directly or indirectly.

The symposium is currently scheduled to be held on the Harvard Business School campus in Boston, MA, on July 30-31
