Plenary Session 9: Information Disorder and the Role of Civics

Our open society is constantly bombarded with disinformation, some of it even deliberately driven by malign actors. But with trust in institutions of all types eroding, who can our society turn to for truth?

Lightning Round 3: 5G & Beyond

How can public-private partnerships everage the advantages of emerging technology? Where do we see opportunities for additional R&D?
