Today’s Leaders Discussing Tomorrow’s Possibilities

Like most events and public gatherings in the age of COVID-19, the Richmond NAP Summit has been postponed in an effort to preserve the wellbeing of its attendees. Similar measures have given way to broadly adopted remote working accommodations, abundant video conferencing, and ever-essential content streaming services. As we’ve all come to rely on the Internet for productivity and entertainment during this time of uncertainty and social distancing, it is important, now more than ever, that we pause to take inventory of what the Internet is and the impact it can have on our future.

The Internet Ecosystem Innovation Committee (IEIC) has recognized the exponential increase in bandwidth utilization over that past few weeks as a unique opportunity for reflection, education, and action. As a result, the IEIC is launching a new series of exclusive talks and panel discussions revolving around the current underlying need to diversify, strengthen, and prepare our Internet infrastructure for times of crisis as well as its growth in fortifying regional economies and their bolstered participation in the Digital Economy.

The IEIC is led by the most influential leaders in their respective industries - Internet infrastructure, gaming, hospitality, healthcare, transportation, education, government, and SaaS companies
