livestreamToday, Sunday December 30 2018, at 7pm EST (00:00 UTC), for the fifth installment of the Internet Society Livestreaming‘s  ‘12  Days of Streams‘ annual highlights we turn to another Internet Hall of Famer, Google’s Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf. Early in 2018 Vint collaborated with the Internet Society New York Chapter for two forums on Digital Preservation – the first in DC focused on policy, the second in NYC focused on incentives. With guest experts Kate Zwaard, chief of National Digital Initiatives at the Library of Congress, Michelle M. Wu, Associate Dean for Library Services at Georgetown University Law Center, Robert Cartolano, AVP for Technology and Preservation, Columbia University Libraries, and Brad Burnham, Managing Partner, Union Square Ventures, these well attended events fostered lively discussions and an (ironically unpreserved) dedicated website.
