Join E-Democracy.Org Executive Director, Steven Clift in New York City June 27 – July 1 at Participation Camp and the Personal Democracy Forum. I will also be meeting with foundation contacts through out – so feel free to open a door for us!
The big Personal Democracy Forum conference is coming up next Monday and Tuesday. I’ll be speaking on Tuesday, June 30 at  3:45 p.m. in “State/Local Online Politicking: How Community Hubs Can Change the Scene” panel.

They tend to live blog/webcast … just watch their conference website for last minute options
I will also be attending the free Participation Camp “unconference” in-person over the weekend – June 27-28. I’ll be leading a couple of discussion sessions that will ALSO be able for live virtual participation via Skype. I am working up some big “electronic block club” ideas that I’ll toss into a brainstorm on building online participation at the neighborhood level. The second is an extended Q&A on  e-democracy’s 15 years of experience, tailored to participants who are new to the field. (With a new e-democracy initiative a minute it seems, why not learn from past experience!)
