The Emerging countries tech was one of my favorite parts of last year’s conference and I’m glad to see CEA continuing the education in this critical area. The best part is that it’s in the developing countries where we see huge potential to combine good business practices with the kind of help these countries need to build their own infrastructures and better support both their own people and a very globalized technology industry. There are many win-wins here but also many barriers that need to be broken down.
