<H3><STRONG>Keynote</STRONG></H3>
<P><SPAN>Samuel Proulx is an expert technology user today, but it didn’t start that way. Sam has had a love/hate relationship with technology since he was just ten years old, using Windows 1995. As a blind user, he found the web to be an equalizer. As the Internet blossomed though, Sam grew with it, but has found the equalizing effect it once had to be lost overtime. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Through his frustrations, Sam believes the Internet is strongest when it’s built by its users. Sam has managed online communities in various spaces for 18 years; he brings this expertise to Fable, helping us build an inclusive team of people from all walks of life, which spans across the entire country.</SPAN></P>

Our five panelists will touch on the unique relationships that they have built with technology through online and offline communities.
