The keynote speaker was presidential appointee Mara Candelaria Reardon, who focused her speech on the Biden Administration's "Internet for All" initiative. 

"The internet is not a luxury, the internet is a necessity, it's a necessity for people for educational purposes, for access to healthcare, for economic empowerment, it is no longer a luxury, and we need to ensure that all of America can participate in the global economy and the opportunities that that provides," said Mara Candelaria Reardon.
