Personal Democracy Forum in New York
With Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google as keynote speaker, leading technologists, bloggers, campaign organizers, activists and journalists will come together this week in New York for the Personal Democracy Forum, a high-level conversation about those new tools, sites and practices that are transforming elections and government.
Main issues to be discussed during the gathering include questions like: how are new technologies democratizing the political process?; what new technology tools and practices are on the horizon?; and how is voter-generated content changing election campaigns?.
Other relevant speakers are Thomas Friedman, Chris Kelly, from Facebook, and Craig Newmark, from Craigslist. The forum, an intensive one-day event, will take place on May 18th, 2007 at the Pace University in New York City.
