Tech Policy Summit provides an independent, nonpartisan forum for prominent executives, nonprofit leaders, government officials, academic experts and journalists to collaborate on strategic policy issues impacting technology development and deployment.

It's a compelling look at the state of technology policy and its future direction that will explore the impact that the economic and regulatory environment are having on innovation in the information technology and communications industries in areas like broadband access, Internet regulation, cleantech, intellectual property and digital privacy.

The theme for the 2009 Summit is Accelerating Innovation and Economic Growth, and conference sessions will focus on what's ahead in the coming months under the Obama administration and in the 111th Congress -- and making sure that what happens in D.C. matters to Silicon Valley.

BusinessWeek technology columnist will be the emcee for the Summit, and you can review the preliminary list of other confirmed speakers and session hosts. The schedule of events will be available soon.
