Motivated by a desire to help fellow artists and creators bring their work to life, Perry Chen founded Kickstarter — the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects. CDT honored Chen with its Digital Visionary Award at its 2018 Annual Dinner, Tech Prom, on March 29, recognizing his work as an artist, innovator, and leader in leveraging tech for good.

CDT's President & CEO Nuala O'Connor discussed being "Online for Good", highlighting the important issues facing the internet today, and CDT's advocacy efforts to push us forward – including election cybersecurity, algorithmic transparency and accountability, and privacy, in addition to countless other projects.
