DESCRIPTION:SPEAKERS:\nWael Ghonim, Author, Revolution 2.0\nModerator: Laura Sydell, 
 NPR Correspondent\n\nCome meet and speak with Wael Ghonim, and hear 
 first-hand what can happen when personal conviction and social media unite. 
 The revolutions sweeping the Middle East in 2011 were unlike any the world 
 had ever seen. How did it all start? In the fall of 2010, then-30-year-old 
 Ghonim launched a Facebook page to protest the death of an Egyptian 
 citizen, Khaled Said, at the hands of the police. The page attracted 
 thousands of members and, combined with Twitter and YouTube, became an 
 outlet for like minds to speak out and reach out to others on issues of 
 corruption, brutality, and oppression. This sparked online and real-world 
 protests, Ghonim's arrest, and eventually, a revolution that led to the 
 departure of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Don't miss this rare 
 opportunity to personally see and hear Ghonim, author of the newly released 
 Revolution 2.0, tell the inside story in an onstage interview with NPR 
 correspondent Laura Sydell.\n\nSPONSOR: Google\n\nATTENTION CORPORATE
