Summit Staff

David All, Founder

As a young politico in Washington, D.C., and on the campaign trail, David understood that the Internet was changing everything — the way we shop, share, work and communicate. He founded the David All Group in 2007, bringing his unique experience and expertise to corporate clients and trade associations. In 2010, David founded the Activism + Media + Policy Summit.

David’s latest project is a fresh startup based in San Francisco, Crumbly. With the Crumbly iPhone app (launching November 2011), you share the places you love with the people you love to discover great places together. The Crumbly team ambitiously intends to redefine the way people communicate around location.

David contributes regularly at OneNineNinety.com. You can follow David on Twitter @DavidAll.
