The Coleman Institute annual conference is a major Institute activity with a university, regional, and national reputation. Institute Executive Director David Braddock, PhD, has organized and chaired ten conferences since the Institute's founding in 2001. Poster sessions on cognitive technology topics are at the heart of the conferences. CU faculty and students display their research posters and exhibits, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration across CU's campuses and with research partners worldwide. These sessions highlight progress and stimulate academic discourse involving colleagues from other research universities. In addition, the speakers, panelists and participants at these conferences represent a diverse community of concern where knowledge and insight are shared not only by academics, but also by leaders in government, industry and the disabilities communities including parents, advocates and service providers.
Past conference speakers have included: Eunice Kennedy Shriver, executive vice president, the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation; Timothy Shriver, Chairman of the Board, International Special Olympics; John Seeley Brown, former Chief Scientist, Xerox Corporation; Vinton Cerf, Chief Technology Evangelist, Google (and co-designer of the protocols and architecture of the Internet); and Raymond Kurzweil, inventor and entrepreneur, to name a few.
