  An update:

  The Innovate / Activate Unconference on IP and Activism is just around the corner on September 24-25, and the Institute for Information Law & Policy at New York Law School is very excited to host this great event. We would like to gratefully acknowledge the generous support of Google and the Yale Law School Information Society Project. Through their support, we are able to provide registration scholarships to members of any student, activist, or civil-society organization. For detailed information about the event, please visit http://www.nyls.edu/innovateactivate.

  We’re thrilled to announce the first two Innovate / Activate panels and esteemed panelists. We hope that these panels will lay the foundation for traversing the IP and activism landscape.

  Replicate / Recreate will kick off the event by spotlighting organizations that have been successful in their IP activism efforts. Panelists will provide a blueprint for understanding what can be accomplished by activating on IP issues.

  Confirmed panelists are: Pat Aufderheide (Director, Center for Social Media, American University School of Communication), Ethan Guillen (Director, Universities Allied for Essential Medicines), Ben Moskowitz (General Coordinator, Open Video Alliance), Nelson Pavlosky (Co-founder, Students for Free Culture), Stephen Schultze (Associate Director, Princeton CITP), Joly MacFie (The Internet Society), Elizabeth Townsend Gard (Director, The Durationer/Usable Past Project, Center for IP Law and Culture, Tulane Law School), and Lindsey Weeramuni (MIT OpenCourseWare). Replicate / Recreate will be moderated by Lea Shaver (Associate Professor, Hofstra Law School).

  Articulate / Anticipate will help attendees connect the dots between what IP is and why it should be a consideration for anyone looking to make a difference. Panelists will explore the mechanics of IP law and the ways in which different innovation systems interact.

  Confirmed panelists are: Jonathan Band (policybandwidth), Nicholas Bramble (Resident Fellow, Yale Law School Information Society Project), Molly Land (Associate Professor, Institute for Information Law & Policy, New York Law School), Frank Pasquale (Schering-Plough Professor in Health Care Regulation and Enforcement, Seton Hall Law School), Jason Schultz (UC Berkeley School of Law), and Peter Yu (Kern Family Chair in IP Law, IP Law Center, Drake University Law School). Articulate / Anticipate will be moderated by Dr. Kenneth Crews (Director, Copyright Advisory Office, Columbia University Libraries).
