We just want to give you a heads up that NDN will be hosting (and participating in) some truly exciting conferences that are coming up this week and next:
April 15-16 - World Economic Forum: Tomorrow, Simon will be flying down to Cancun, Mexico where he will be participating on a panel at the World Economic Forum on Latin America on April 15 and 16. The panel, taking place on the morning of April 16, is entitled "New Leadership in the Americas." The topic of the panel is how multinational businesses are adapting to the evolving world's increased global mobility, and what businesses are doing and could be doing to have a positive social impact across borders. Many of the world's leading economic thinkers and business leaders will be in attendance at the conference, and Simon will have an opportunity to share with them NDN's views on making globalization work for all of the world's citizens, as well as discuss U.S. policy toward Latin America.
April 16 - Understanding the Cleantech Investment Opportunity: Is all the hype behind the investment opportunity in green technology justified? Or is clean technology potentially another bubble? Learn the answers to these important questions on Wednesday, April 16, in 
New York City, when NDN Green Project Director Michael Moynihan hosts a panel with leading clean technology experts on "Understanding the Cleantech Investment Opportunity." the panel will feature Peter C. Fusaro, Chairman and Founder of Global Change Associates, best selling author of What Went Wrong At Enron and perhaps the world's leading expert on clean technology funds, and well-known analyst David Kurzman, Senior Vice President of the Clean Technology Research Group at Panel Intelligence, LLC. The panel will get to the heart of the green technology issue from an investment perspective and discuss various policy approaches to climate change including cap and trade, a carbon tax, the solar tax credit and other investment incentives. The event will start at 12 p.m. at the Regency Hotel's Regency Room at 540 Park Ave, New York, NY. Get more information off our website, or RSVP here.
April 17 - Discussion with the authors of Millenial Makover: On Thursday, NDN will host an
event in San Francisco which will be devoted to one of our main narratives: that the Millenial Generation is reshaping the American electorate in unprecedented ways. Keeping the focus on their new book, Michael Hais and Morley Winograd, coauthors of Millennial Makeover: Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube, and the Future of American Politics, will discuss the impact of the rising Millennial Generation and how it could bring about a rare, historic realignment within the party. The event will take place from 6-8 PM at The Fairmont Hotel. Get further information and RSVP here.
April 24 - Re-Imagine Video: Television, the dominant media of politics, is going through historic and profound change. More people watch cable today than broadcast. By the end of the year, about a third of all homes will have a DVR, and 60 percent of those with a DVR skip all television commercials. More and more people are watching commercial TV on the web. The big TV networks are moving to a year round schedule. And of course there is much, much more. To discuss all this the New Politics Institute is bringing together leading private sector practitioners to discuss the profound and historic ways television is changing. The event will take place in DC at the Phoenix Park Hotel from 12 PM to 2 PM. You can read up on the exciting list of speakers and RSVP here.
