8 a.m. – 9 a.m.: CEO and Founder Breakfast Panel: Secrets of Tech Recruiting

Join Katia Beauchamp, co-founder of Birchbox, Dave Gilboa, co-founder of Warby Parker, Serkan Piantino, site director of the Facebook NY office, and Aaron Schildkrout, co-founder of HowAboutWe for a discussion about how and where to find today’s most-wanted talent.

Noon – 1 p.m.: Digital Privacy in a Social Media Age

Are we sharing too much information at the expense of our privacy? In this social-media age, when we can easily share our thoughts, photos and whereabouts with one tap or click, the line is blurring between privacy and profits. Erin Egan, Chief Privacy Officer for Policy of Facebook, and Aswini Anburajan, Director of Partner Development at Buzzfeed, join Danah Boyd and Justin Brookman, privacy researchers from Microsoft and the Center of Democracy & Technology, to debate the consequences of sharing personal data.
