What Happened at the eG8? [INFOGRAPHIC]

The eG8 brought together some of the world's most influential technology leaders this week for an open discussion about the future of technology.

Hosted by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the eG8 attempted to establish a dialogue between the government and technology luminaries. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, HTC's Peter Chou, DST's Yuri Milner and Google's Eric Schmidt were just some of the high-powered speakers that graced the stage at the event.
