The First Family Online Safety Institute Conference and Exhibition
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITY: Child Protection in a Web 2.0 World
Thursday 6th December 2007
Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center Washington, DC 20004
FOSI's inaugural annual conference attracted over 200 participants from around the world. The aim was clearly achieved: raising awareness of the extraordinary challenges facing parents, teachers, industry leaders, legislators and the kids themselves of our new digital world, while highlighting a range of evolving solutions.
The agenda serves as a reminder of the impressive array of speakers and panellists. Many of the presentations, videos and other materials from the event are available from this archive and are listed below.
