Join us for a half-day conference which will explore the benefits, risks
and values at stake in evaluating corporate and government Internet
privacy policies.

Concerns for the privacy of online activity have been around for years.
Minnesota adopted privacy regulations that apply to Internet service
providers in 2002.  Since then we have seen the rise of Google, MySpace,
Facebook and a host of other Web-based services that have the potential
to accumulate vast amounts of data about the online behavior of
individuals. This conference will provide an up-to-date look at web
innovation and its effect on individual liberties.

The program will include presentations from renowned experts and policy
makers:

*	Robert Atkinson, Founder and President, Information Technology
and Innovation Foundation
*	Professor William McGeveran, Associate Professor of Law,
University of Minnesota
*	Gregory T. Nojeim, Senior Counsel, Center for Democracy &
Technology and Director of its Project on Freedom, Security & Technology
*	Representative Ryan Winkler, Minnesota House of Representatives
