The good folks at Google Ideas, Tribeca Enterprises and the Council on Foreign Relations met last week for the Info Summit 2012 to discuss the ever-interesting topic of "Illicit Networks".
From Info Summit:
Global illicit networks — from drug smuggling and arms dealing, to human trafficking and organ harvesting — affect millions of people across the world, bringing in over $2.1 trillion every year.The initiative does not stop at the event: a series of projects inspired by the summit will continue to be developed over the coming months.
