Personal Democracy Forum

By Susan Crawford

It’s bigger than ever and one of the key 2008 conferences - don’t miss it! (How great to be in Rose Hall at Lincoln Center.)

Register here. June 23 and 24.

Technology has been changing politics for a hundred years now, but the process is speeding up right now. More data is visible, and there are more ways for the candidates to be in touch with the rest of us. But are candidates actually listening, and is the electorate actually engaged?

The forum will feature an unprecedented cross-partisan roster of speakers and panelists?individuals who are altering the landscape of the electoral process, political action and communication in our wired world on a daily basis. Now in its fifth year, the Personal Democracy Forum (PdF) is expanding to a two day event covering not only how the Internet is impacting campaigns and elections, but also how governance is changing.

This is the year of PdF. I wish I could be there, and I think you should go and tell me all about it later.
