Congressman Bob Goodlatte Talks With Zello CEO Bill Moore at State of the Net
We are excited to announce that the CEO of Zello Inc, Bill Moore, will participate in a keynote conversation with Representative Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, at State of the Net on January 29.
Zello is an app that transforms mobile phones into walkie-talkies, even with minimal network connection, making it especially useful during disasters. This fall, rescue workers in Texas relied on Zello to find and save flood victims stranded by Hurricane Harvey. It became the communication hub for the “cajun navy.” Zello was recently featured in the Washington Post, the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Recode, CNN, and many other outlets. Bill Moore is also the founder of the audio streaming service TuneIn, which offers thousands of radio stations on demand to more than 75 million users.
Every year, key Internet policy makers and thinkers gather at State of the Net. Join them on January 29, 2018 at the Newseum’s Knight Conference Center in Washington, D.C. to be part of the Internet policy conversation.
The keynote conversation with Chairman Bob Goodlatte will cover the power of the Internet — via extraordinary apps — to save lives. The pair will also discuss the Internet’s role in enabling new technologies and new companies. We look forward to seeing you there.
