Theme: Internet trust, challenges and the next 10 years.
Trust and confidence for everyone using the Internet is important. The current Internet model presents growing challenges in these areas. For example, can we trust a particular address we type in a web browser to resolve, bringing us to the site we expect? With ever-increasing social media networks and email, attracting more and more people online around the world, the Internet has become a frequent and necessary platform for increasing numbers of communications and business transactions. Ensuring the information we exchange can be trusted is paramount to those who use the Internet and to those involved in its evolution. End user confidence is essential.
The San Francisco INET Conference will bring together experts from Internet policy, Internet standards, the private sector and the Internet user community to explore the following key questions:
• How can we advance security in the Domain Name System, (DNS)?
• How is email communication evolving to ensure end-to-end trust?
• How can we improve our trust in the current Internet model?
• How are businesses dealing with issues of trust?
• How does network confidence play a role in the Internet model?
• Should we be thinking differently?
San Francisco INET will also hold two sessions where the audience can interact with our panel of experts. At SF INET, we will focus on evolutionary steps with regard to trust and confidence as defined by those who use the Internet, policy makers, businesses and Internet developers. Instead of a focus on problems with trust or confidence today, the goal of this conference is to discuss what we want the Internet model to be in the next ten years.
Registration is free but due to limited seating pre-registration is required by May 6th 2010. Refreshments and lunch will be provided with a cocktail event after conclusion.
The meeting is free and open to all.
