One World, Two Internets: China's Tech Innovation

Sunday, March 15
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon J
500 E 4th St

In 2014, China already is the world's largest Internet, mobile, smartphone and e-commerce market. Yet, the Great Firewall has essentially created a world of two Internets – with most people outside of China unfamiliar with the Chinese web.

In a world of two Internets – this talk will demystify the technology landscape behind China's Great Firewall and explore the accelerating convergence of innovation between the US and China.
