Net2Con: Opening Session
Large grey-green room with low ceilings and small flying saucer light fixtures. I am in the back with the bloggers, of which there are many, many. The Immoderator, Daniel Ben Horin, President and CEO of CompuMentor, interviewing Angela Glover Blackwell, founder of PolicyLink and former Rockefeller Foundation VP, are flanked by two large screens with NetSquared in orange letters. LinkTV is filming the event from a single camera in the middle of the room. Angela Glover Blackwell is a striking African-American woman, articulate, self-assured, and broadly knowledgeable…a very good choice to open the conference.
