Join us for the Gov 2.0 Online Conference
Facing Challenges and Winning: Five Gov 2.0 ExamplesWhen it comes fundraising, getting out the vote, and getting elected, the web has made an enormous difference. Now, what about how it furthers the relationship between citizens and our government?
The O'Reilly Gov 2.0 Online Conference is a FREE, three-hour event that will show off some of the brightest examples of Web 2.0 technologies creating greater collaboration, transparency, and efficiencies in government - from the comfort and convenience of your desktop or laptop computer.
This free interactive event will spotlight the five Gov 2.0 award-winners and their presentations from the recent Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase, which took place in September in Washington DC:
- Peter Koht (City of Santa Cruz) - City of Santa Cruz Budget Crisis: A Blueprint Using Social Media
- Merrick Schaefer (UNICEF) - txts 4 africa
- Melissa Jordan (Bay Area Rapid Transit) - Transit 2.0 at Bart.gov
- Jeff Nigbur (State of Utah, Department of Public Safety) - Utah Department of Public Safety Media Portal
- Rita King (Dancing Ink Productions) - Digital Diplomacy: Understanding Islam Through Virtual Worlds
Log on from your desktop and join them as they take you on a deeper dive into their experiences. Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for your follow up questions. In just half a day, you'll learn how new technologies are being used to drive efficiency, increase transparency, improve accountability, and raise levels of citizen participation.
Join us for this special half-day event to hear from experts, share your ideas, and join in a conversation with panelists and other participants.

How An Online Conference Works
On December 10 at 9:00 AM (PST, 12:00 PM EST), you'll log on and attend sessions by viewing slides and listening to the speakers presentation. You'll be able to pose questions and interact with people from all over the world using live text chat. The structure is similar to that of a physical conference, but no travel is necessary. All you need is your computer.
We hope you will join us online.
