The 3rd annual Tech Policy Summit was held May 11-13 at the San Mateo Marriott hotel. Details on the next Summit will be announced here soon. 

Tech Policy Summit provides an independent, nonpartisan forum for prominent executives, nonprofit leaders, government officials, academic experts and journalists to collaborate on strategic policy issues impacting technology development and deployment.

It's a compelling look at the state of technology policy and its future direction that will explore the impact that the economic and regulatory environment are having on innovation in the information technology and communications industries in areas like broadband access, Internet regulation, cleantech, intellectual property and digital privacy.

The theme for the 2009 Summit was Accelerating Innovation and Economic Growth, and conference sessions focused tech policy under the Obama administration and in the 111th Congress -- and making sure that what happens in D.C. matters to Silicon Valley. BusinessWeek technology columnist served as the official emcee for the 2009 Summit, and you can review a list of other speakers and session hosts who participated in the conference on the Speakers page.  

The schedule of events from the 2009 Summit is available below, and you free photos and podcasts from the conference are available in the Media Vault.
