Dear all,

my alma mater, Princeton University, has asked me to help spread the word for this conference, taking place at the Berlin Conference Center next March 20-21, 2017 in Berlin, Germany. 

For those of you intending to attend ICANN 58 in Copenhagen March 16-17, it may be good to know that there is no conflict of timing here, as these two conferences are back-to-back with each other, with a nice weekend in between, allowing for easy transfer and a bit of sightseeing in Copenhagen and Berlin. 

The short name for the venue is the bcc (http://www.bcc-berlin.de/en) and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Fernsehturm at Alexanderplatz, right in the center of Berlin.The venue is large enough to house over 1,000 participants, so we can expect a vibrant discourse. 

 This two-day forum will explore digital technologies in the information age, with a careful eye to how different countries and sectors approach the balance between risks, benefits and fundamental rights. So, this forum will explore where we are headed dealing with our personal information, our essential civil and political liberties in an age when governments and global businesses have almost unlimited access to our most personal information? 

Among the key speakers are Vint Cerf, who needs no introduction, and Neelie Kroes, former EU Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society.

In case the links below don't work, here is the main website for the event: http://fungforum.princeton.edu/, the Agenda: http://fungforum.princeton.edu/program/agenda, and link to the registration site: https://express.converia.de/frontend/index.php?folder_id=162

Please share this invitation amongst your relevant circles. I will post this to a few more lists, so please don't get annoyed with me if you get  this twice or three times. Please send an email to fungforum at princeton.edu for any question about the specifics of the conference. 

Hope to see you in Berlin next March!

 Best regards
 Peter
