NY Event: Personal Democracy Forum

By Nisha | June 23, 2009

As you’ve probably noticed from the last post, we’ve been a little swamped! But we wanted to sneak in a quick post about Personal Democracy Forum, a very cool conference coming up June 29 & 30 in New York City. The conference, themed “We.gov,” is one of the largest conferences examining innovations in technology, politics, social media, and civic engagement. The conference features some great speakers:

• Clay Shirky, Author
• Jeff Jarvis, Author
• Craig Newmark, Craigslist
• Randy Zuckerberg, Facebook
• Nate Silver, 538.com
• Vivek Kundra, White House CIO
• Joe Rospars, New Media Director of the Obama campaign
• Michael Wesch, “The Machine is Us/ing Us”
• Mark Pesce, Futurist
• Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder, Twitter

We know it’s short notice, since the conference is a week away, but if you’re in New York and can spare a day or two, it promises to be an exciting event. And if you’re reading this post right now you can get a $100 discount on your registration by using the coupon code CitizenJane at registration. Registration is located at http://bit.ly/Pdf2009CJ.
