Analog to Digital: Building Policy for the American Life of the Future

In the summer of 2017, TechFreedom hosted its first ever policy summit, “Back to the Future of Policy,” to answer the question: How should the laws of yesterday adapt to the technology of tomorrow?

Staffers are increasingly thinking about how technological change can and will shape the lives of the Americans they and their bosses serve. To that end, more than 200 House and Senate staff joined together to form the Congressional Tech Staff Association to share knowledge and guide their work into the future. What are some of the brightest in Congress doing to ensure that people at home and across the country are going to be able to thrive 5 or 10 years from now? How are they supporting entrepreneurialism, innovation, and quality of life for everyday Americans? What concerns are they hearing, and how can civil society and industry better help address those concerns as they do their work?
