Tha Shape of Things to Come

The roundtable session 'Young Peoples' InJo' is, by far, one of the most exciting projects I've been involed in. Esther Wojcicki's journalism students from Palo Alto High, collectively, are a force of nature. Between Ed Madison from the University of Oregon, Tim Dickinson from Rolling Stone, and, of course, Esther Wojcicki herself, this session promises to be an eye-opener to say the least.
We all know how powerful young people are becoming, and how central a role innovation has played in that. This is the session, however, that will show you how this shift is manifesting itself.
