State of the Net Media Round Up
The State of the Net Conference attracts the most prominent tech policy journalists in America. Over 60 credentialed members of the press registered to attend the 21st annual conference last week. Many of them served as expert moderators and interviewers for various panels and fireside chats. Maria Curi from Axios interviewed Rep. Jay Obernolte during his fireside chat, and Kelcee Griffis from Bloomberg interviewed Rep. Suhas Subramanyam during his fireside chat. Mohar Chatterjee from POLITICO, Miranda Nazzaro from The Hill, and Natalie Alms from NextGov were all included in a distinguished group of panel moderators. In addition, Justin Hendrix from Tech Policy Press recorded an episode of his podcast right from the floor of State of the Net.
Read on to find a sampling of press coverage from State of the Net. We’re thrilled that tech policy press flocks to State of the Net every year.
