Open Video Conference 2010 will take place October 1-2 in New York City. It’s our distinct pleasure to announce that Susan Crawford, professor of law at University of Michigan and former advisor to the Obama administration, is joining the slate of speakers for OVC2010.

Susan is the founder of OneWebDay and served on the board of directors of ICANN from 2005-2008. As an academic, she teaches internet law and communications law at University of Michigan Law School. In 2008, she co-led the FCC Agency Review team for the Obama-Biden transition, and served as Special Assistant to the President for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy. She rejoined the Michigan faculty in January 2010. Susan, a violist, also lives in New York City.

Like many other leading thinkers in technology policy, Susan is watching the future of online video very closely. Join us in New York this fall to explore how the medium is developing, and how it will affect the future of the web.
