The F2C:Freedom to Connect Conference is taking place in Washington DC today and tomorrow May 21-22 2012. Speakers include Vint Cerf, Rebecca Mackinnon, Cory Doctorow, Sascha Meinrath, Susan Crawford, and Eben Moglen.

F2C: Freedom to Connect, inaugurated in 2005, is a conference devoted to preserving and celebrating the essential properties of the Internet. The phrase Freedom to Connect is now official US foreign policy, thanks to Secretary of State Clinton, who said in 2010 “the idea that governments should not prevent people from connecting to the internet, to websites, or to each other. The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace.”

Registration for the webcast is $20, however since ISOC-NY is sponsoring the webcast we can offer our members free access. For the password: email [email protected] with the subject “F2C webcast”. The webcast will be publically archived at https://www.youtube.com/user/F2C2012
