This is the second i50 event, the first being the May 19 IEEE Milestone <https://isoc.live/17910/> . Now it's the ACM's turn, with The Royal Society hosting. Again, a high powered lineup of top speakers, this time focusing more on academics, but also including Doreen Bogdan-Martin of the ITU, and Maarten Botterman of GFCE/ICANN. What both events do have in common is the People Centered Internet and its co-founders, Vint Cerf and Mei Lin Fung.
