they will be the greatest legacy of the Olympic games in Rio.

2. Keynote Luncheon - The Promise: Talent, Growth and the Power of the Web
*11:30 AM - 1:10 PM Barrette Business and Community Center*

preach the power and potential of the web, technology, and Google tools as
enabling and supporting capabilities in pursuit of creating powerful
learning models.  In the Google culture of encouraging interaction, he
works across other teams, including Google Fiber, the Google Policy Team,

technology will enable education’s to be the “silver bullet” that saves
lives and economies like never before.

for reinforcing the interdependence of government, business and education,
what he calls the "triple helix," makes him the perfect host for this
lively, interactive "town hall" session.

the development of a collaborative ecosystem that propelled her city to
number one on the world stage.
