An Evening with Steve Crocker - Pioneer of the Internet 10/23
Crocker worked with other graduate students to put together the "Arpanet," the first piece of the Internet. Wharton Club members & guests are invited!
Join us on Zoom for a presentation by Steve Crocker about his work as one of the inventors of the Internet.
As a student at UCLA, Crocker worked with other graduate students to put together the "Arpanet," the first piece of the Internet, and a trigger for the network era as we know it. Crocker's career has been spent in internet development and security, and was a Chair of the Board at ICANN, the non-profit that oversees the domain name system. Crocker will discuss the origins of networking and historical milestones and will explain this complex topic in a very relatable way. Learn more at the Internet Hall of Fame.
Registration required. Zoom link will be sent the day before the program. Free and open to the public.
