BDPA of Greater Washington

BDPA of Greater Washington kicks off the first day its Earth Day 2018 Tech & Digital Media Summit with a tech reception. The evening will include an Artificial Intelligence (Ai), Digital Media, and Policy industry panel discussing the topic "Who will regulate 'Smart Cities' in a newly connected world —Ai or Governments?". BDPA's mission is to bridge cyber security, information technology (IT) and telecommunications competency gaps with Industry, Academia, under-represented, and underserved communities.
