"As they confront challenging Internet policy issues, policymakers benefit greatly from the opportunity to discuss a changing environment with key thought leaders from industry, practice and nongovernmental organizations," said Phil Weiser, dean of the CU law school and executive director and founder of Silicon Flatirons. "At Silicon Flatirons, we work hard to attract top leaders and provide a trusted forum for this dialogue."
