Teens Plugged In!

Second Annual Teens in Technology Conference

Tuesday May 13th, 2008

Hewlett Packard Auditorium, Palo Alto, CA

Description

Come join us in this teen-driven event, where we invite teens to share their insights into their “always connected� way of life. Teens are using technology to communicate like no generation before them – mobile text messaging, IM, MySpace pages, video cell phones and online video games, etc…. Technology permeates their lives and their interests drive innovation in a significant way.

This program is an exceptional opportunity to learn first hand from the teens themselves how they are driving the tech industry and what new ideas they’re working on to move the industry forward.
