Tech Envoy Series with Ambassador Nate Fick, Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy
Event Details
Thursday, October 4, 2023 | 8:00 - 9:00 AM ET
Join us for a Tech Envoy Series program with U.S. Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy, Nate Fick.
With advancing technology revolutionizing how people work, live, and entertain themselves, it is imperative for the world’s governments to work with the private sector to create a healthy and safe environment for such a technology to evolve in. New legislation could impact everything from people’s careers to the forms of media they consume, as well as the type of information that is available to them. The implications of this evolving subject will be far-reaching and will affect most people, governments, and organizations. This meeting is a must for anyone involved in tech, digital rights, and cybersecurity.
Meridian will bring together members of the foreign diplomatic corps focused on science and technology and private sector leaders from the tech industry, for a discussion on cybersecurity, cyber governance and resilience, and the promotion of digital freedom.
The Tech Envoy Series enables discussion on ways the public and private sectors can join forces with civil society around the world to tackle today’s greatest challenges through technology.
