Understanding Search: The Infrastructure, Innovation & Impact of Today's Search Technology
9/15/2011
In an era of information overload, search engines help
Internet users find the information they want. Access to this information is a
human rights issue as well as an economic one. But search engines are often
criticized by businesses frustrated with search engine rankings and by
restrictive governments around the world demanding that search results be
filtered.
On September 20th, the Computer & Communications
Industry Association will host a panel discussion on Internet search and how it
impacts businesses, consumers and the Internet as a whole. Complimentary
breakfast will be provided.*
Understanding Search: The Infrastructure, Innovation & Impact of
Today’s Search Engine Technology
Tuesday, September 20
Rayburn Building, Room B-339
8:30am – 10:00am
Moderated by former Washington Post tech guru Rob Pegoraro,
the panel will feature:
From how businesses reach customers on the web to why search
engine results are biased to who wants search engine regulation and why, our
panel of experts will explain the inner workings of Internet search and the
legal and legislative issues surrounding access to information.
Please send RSVPs to Maggie Clark at mclark@ccianet.org or
