In this highly interactive presentation called, “Privacy and Personality in the Digital Age,” Alben addresses concepts of personal privacy, digital tracking, the concept of  “celebrity” and what we are each willing to give up to preserve privacy in the online environment.

He helped launch ESPN.com and ABCNews.com, and served for six years in senior management at RealNetworks.
