From the event story booklet:

Creative Commons began providing licenses for the open sharing of content only a decade ago. Now more than 400 million CC-licensed works are available on the Internet, from music and photos, to research findings and entire college courses. Creative Commons created the legal and technical infrastructure that allows effective sharing of knowledge, art and data by individuals, organizations and governments. More importantly, millions of creators took advantage of that infrastructure to share work that enriches the global commons for all humanity.

The Power of Open collects the stories of those creators.

The Washington event features presentations by Global Voices Online co-founder Rebecca MacKinnon, IntraHealth OPEN director Heather LaGarde, and Creative Commons CEO Catherine Casserly.
