Internet Society and Smithsonians National Museum of American History to Co-host Summit Exploring Past, Present and Future of the Internet<br>
<br>
Mitchell Baker, Vint Cerf, David Farber and Sebastian Thrun to provide insights into origins and future of the Internet<br>
<br>
[Washington, DC and Geneva, Switzerland 1 June 2015] The Internet Society and the Smithsonians National Museum of American History have joined forces to co-host a summit entitled The Internet Age: Founders to Future. Prominent contributors to the rich history
of the Internet will discuss the diverse elements that have enabled the innovations leading to the Internet Age and provide perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the Internets future. The event will take place on June 11, 2015 at 2:30pm ET
in the Museums Warner Bros. Theater, and will also be webcast live, <a target="_blank" href="http://raiseitup.si.edu/global-summit/">

<br>
The Internet is not the invention of any single individual, but rather the result of immeasurable steps by thousands of people across the globe, said Kathy Brown, President and CEO of the Internet Society. The Internet Society is delighted to collaborate with
the Museum to assemble this very special group of luminaries including several inductees in the Internet Hall of Fame who hold a unique perspective on both the origin and evolution of what many believe to be the most transformative invention of our age.<br>
<br>
Panelists will discuss the continuum of the Internet, from how it was imagined to where the Internet is taking us in the future. Moderated by Eric Hintz, historian with the Museums Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, the panelists will
include:<br>
<br>
Mitchell Baker is Executive Chairwoman of the Mozilla Foundation and the leader of the Mozilla Project. She is responsible for organizing and motivating a massive, worldwide, collective of employees and volunteers who are breathing new life into the Internet
with the Firefox Web browser and other products. Ms. Baker was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012.<br>
<br>
Vint Cerf, widely known as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. He has served as vice president and chief Internet evangelist for Google since October 2005. Mr. Cerf was inducted
into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012.<br>
<br>
David Farber played a key role in many systems that converged into today's Internet. He is an Internet Hall of Fame inductee and the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University.<br>
<br>
Sebastian Thrun is a scientist, educator, researcher, inventor, and entrepreneur. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Udacity, a company dedicated to democratizing learning for everyone. Udacity has almost 4 million students in over 190 countries.<br>
