Here’s the schedule for Day One of Personal Democracy Forum 2008, which is focused on how technology and the internet are changing campaigns, elections and political media. To register or find out more, go here.
It’s a packed day, and you’ll want to plan to get there early for a networking breakfast, and to qualify for a special gift that will only be offered to people in the plenary hall when the morning’s program starts at 8:30am. Bring a laptop or other wifi-enabled device, as we’ll have copious bandwith to enable you to blog, twitter, back-chat and otherwise connect with each other (though no downloading of big movie files will be tolerated). We’ll provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a big cocktail party at the end of Day One.
