F2C: Freedom to Connect is being held this year March 5 & 6 in the Washington, DC area. F2C features Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas, sci-fi author Bruce Sterling, Professor Yochai Benkler and many more speakers.

F2C is for people involved Internet connectivity and all that it enables. The featured speaker is Yale Professor Yochai Benkler, who Larry Lessig calls, "the best communications theorist of our generation." Benkler will present on Wealth of Networks - due to the low production and distribution costs, self-produced and socially distributed content will be as important as industrial and marketplace content. We're already seeing that with YouTube.
