The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly considering holding executives personally liable when a tech company's privacy practices are unfair or deceptive. When is personal liability appropriate and what does the FTC's new stance mean for the technology sector?\n\nJoin Lincoln Network for lunch and a panel discussion with experts on the threat of billion-dollar fines and personal liability litigation against the tech industry. Lunch will begin at noon.

Please join us at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco, California as we host our 10th anniversary gala and annual conference, "Reboot: The New Reality."

Enjoy an evening of fun before the conference with a sumptuous plated dinner, themed cocktails, and fabulous dessert stations with friends of the foundation. Our 10-year anniversary gala is a celebration of the people and organizations that have helped us build tech and promote freedom.

Across media, politics, education, and global affairs, new technologies and players are laying waste to incumbents and making possible new enterprises and ways of building. Political pressure and popular opinion are moving from stagnation to revolution, from doom loop to boom loop.

This isn’t incremental improvement. It's reality transformation.

How will new media enterprises reshape political coalitions? Will defense startups unseat bloated legacy contractors? Can we bulldoze the obstacles to a brighter future? To achieve that future, America will need Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley will need its window into Washington.

For 10 years, the Foundation for American Innovation has been a conduit between Silicon Valley builders and Washington policymakers, and we're just getting started.

Reboot: The New Reality is a full-day conference where we will hear from a variety of policy entrepreneurs, tech founders,

Please note: Tickets to each event may be purchased separately or as a bundle.
