Wow, look at the lineup for this Google and Stanford Law School event that I am speaking at next week as part of a "Legal Futures Summit," which is billed as "a conversation between some of the world's leading thinkers about the future of privacy, intellectual property, competition, innovation, globalization, and other areas of the law undergoing rapid change due to technological advancement."
I have no idea what I'll be saying at this event, but I'm really looking forward to just interacting with this impressive group of intellectual powerhouses. [Apparently the second day of the event--next Saturday--is open to the public. So Silicon Valley locals might want to come and hear the fun.] Anyway, here's the lineup...
