ABSTRACT

The Internet makes lives better, around the world, in ways people couldn't 
have imagined not even a decade ago.  It sparks prosperity, inspires 
dissent, improves education, and encourages freedom.  But all of the good 
it does is under threat, largely from governments. He will discuss where 
those threats are coming from, and the critical importance for us all that 
we overcome them.

David Drummond joined Google in 2002, initially as vice president of 
corporate development. Today as senior vice president and chief legal 
officer, he leads Google’s global teams for legal, government relations, 
corporate development (M&A and investment projects) and new business 
development (strategic partnerships and licensing opportunities).

David was first introduced to Google in 1998 as a partner in the corporate 
transactions group at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati, one of the 
nation’s leading law firms representing technology businesses. He served as 
Google’s first outside counsel and worked with Larry Page and Sergey Brin 
to incorporate the company and secure its initial rounds of financing. 
During his tenure at Wilson Sonsini, David worked with a wide variety of 
technology companies to help them manage complex transactions such as 
mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings.
