We're very excited about this year's program. Our keynote speakers are California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, David Drummond of Google, and Peter Cullen of Microsoft. CFP's first-ever "Unconference" will be led by Kaliya Hamlin. We've also got classic CFP subjects like "Privacy and Free Speech: It's Good for Business" and "Net Neutrality 2.0" – and timely topics with great local interest such as "Monitoring What You do at Home:
Privacy Challenges of the Smart Grid", "Can an App do That?", "Robots and Civil Liberties", and "Healthcare Information Exchanges".
Thanks to everybody who submitted a proposal – as well as the team of volunteers who are helping with the planning.
See you in San Jose!
CFP 2010 co-chairs Jon Pincus and Dorothy Glancy

Smart phones, social networking and the "internet of things" let us
integrate the online world and computers more deeply into our lives – and raise difficult questions, starting with whether we should have to give up our freedom and privacy in to reap the benefits of a constant connection to friends and information.
The emphasis of the 2010 conference will be on strengthening collaboration and networking among the many varied participants in this annual gathering.
Through plenary sessions, breakouts, networking opportunities and special programming, CFP2010 will provide a wide range of learning and sharing experiences for all attendees. We will celebrate the ways in which computers, freedom, and privacy interact with our networked society. We will explore many of the new connections that must be created to confront global issues facing freedom and privacy today.
This year's program features keynote speakers Peter Cullen of Microsoft on Tuesday, David Drummond of Google on Thursday, and California Secretary of State Debra Bowen on Friday, and "hot topics" sessions covering the latest news in freedom, privacy, and networks. Some of the other highlights include
- Bringing businesses to the table with an opening plenary on "Privacy and Free Speech: It's Good for Business" and breakouts "Investing in Privacy" and "Privacy Choices Online" – featuring Chief Privacy Officers from Facebook and eBay.
- Consumer advocacy and human rights perspectives at sessions like
"Healthcare Information Systems", "Net Neutrality 2.0", "Can an App do That?", and "Mobile Phones and Personal Data: Resisting Surveillance"
- Cutting edge intersections of technology and policy such as "Augmented Minds and Privacy", (((oh lordy))) "Robots and Civil Liberties", "Social Offers", and "The Internet of Things".
- The first-ever CFP "unconference" on Wednesday, led by Kaliya Hamlin.
