Google Idea's Jared Cohen to Speak at HITEC 2012 Closing Keynote Session
(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/12 -- Jared Cohen will demonstrate how technology is a part of every challenge in the world and should be a part of every solution during his Closing Keynote session at the 2012 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC®). Cohen is director of Google Ideas, a "think/do" tank at Google that combines a new generation of thinkers with technology to tackle some of the world's most intractable problems. He will speak at HITEC 2012 on Thursday, June 28 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Md.
Cohen -- an expert on international security, global political dynamics and the impact of technology -- will discuss how we must think about technology's longer term impact. He believes technology touches every challenge and that the solution for societies is to cut across different sectors and seek innovative ways to maximize the positive impact that these tools can have on the world's future.
"The hospitality industry's international reach makes it important for all of us to understand the regional conditions across the globe," said HITEC Chair Allison Morris, CHTP, senior IT manager for Caesars Entertainment, Inc. "Jared Cohen's unique mix of foreign policy experience and technology insight will help attendees tie together their professional field with how it fits within our global society."
Cohen is politically transcendent and has served as an adviser to both Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. In addition to being the youngest member of the Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff ever appointed, Cohen is also a recipient of the Secretary of State's Meritorious Honor Award.
He was selected by the Huffington Post as one of its "Top 100 Game Changers," and by social enterprise Devex as one of its "40 Under 40." Recently, he was named in Vanity Fair's 2011 The Next Establishment, which recognizes rising talent in technology, media, policy and business.
