Panel Discussions
Emerging Tech DC (ET/DC) will expand on the success of <A HREF="https://www.publicknowledge.org/news-blog/blogs/3d-dc-returns-to-capitol-hill-next-week-rsvp-now" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">3D/DC</A>, our annual 3D printing and policy event, to include two new areas in addition to 3D printing: artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Each of these topics will be addressed in individual, hour-long panels. Panelists will include innovators currently developing and using these emerging technologies, academics, and public interest groups. We hope that this will serve as a learning opportunity for members of Congress and their staffs, and well as business leaders and members of the public. Check out the agenda below for more information.
Showcase
After the panels, participants will be invited to a reception at CTA's <A HREF="https://www.cta.tech/About/CTA-Innovation-House.aspx" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Innovation House</A>, at which creators will display their applications of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. This will be an opportunity to discuss the existing technologies with creators, and see first hand how they work.
