About this event

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), in collaboration with the People-Centered Internet (PCI) as co-founded by Vint Cerf, presents this celebration of the first 50 years of the Internet.

We aim to inspire the next generation of creators-the engineers of the world who will do the next extraordinary things-to grasp the impact that engineering can really have to make a better world. We must deliberately and consciously harness technology's near-infinite potential to engage the cultures and the minds of the world.
