Wayback to the Future: Celebrating the Open Web

October 27, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Join the Foundation for American Innovation, the Massive Data Institute and the Internet Archive at Georgetown University’s historic Riggs Library for Wayback to the Future: Celebrating the Open Web—Past, Present, and Possible.

​The open web was once defined by experimentation, decentralization, and possibility. The technological advancements were driven by the desire for a place where new voices and ideas could flourish. Today, consolidation and walled gardens challenge that vision. Together, we’ll look back at the internet’s origins to spark a forward-looking conversation about how to keep the web free, open, and innovative.
