| Event Description |
INFORUM'S 21ST CENTURY VISIONARY AWARD
CHAD HURLEY AND STEVE CHEN, Founders, YouTube
With CHRIS ANDERSON, Editor-in-Chief, Wired Magazine - Moderator
With YouTube, Hurley and Chen created a new way for millions of people to entertain, educate, rock and shock one another on a scale we've never seen before. YouTube is a platform for everyday people to broadcast their perspectives to the masses. Musicians, amateur filmmakers, comedians, and professional content owners alike are sharing their videos, and some even rise to the top to become stars. INFORUM will award the founders of YouTube for their ingenuity and talk with them about everything from their homegrown culture to Google to Viacom to what's next on the horizon.
Media Sponsor: SFWeekly
VIP Reception Sponsors: Otis, Swan's Neck Vodka, Scott Howard
