Ever wanted to put a RoboCop statue up in middle of Detroit, produce a documentary or start the world's next great tech venture? Today, all these things are being accomplished through crowdfunding.

In this session a panel of experts will discuss this trend in micro-giving and how it will disrupt the funding landscape for years to come.
