6th Annual Personal Democracy Forum (PdF) to Feature Preeminent Minds and Practitioners in Politics, The Internet and New Media

New York, NY—June 2008—On Monday, June 29th, and Tuesday, June 30th, 2009, America’s foremost leaders and luminaries from all segments of the Internet, new media and political arenas will converge in New York at Lincoln Center, Frederick P. Rose Hall, for the 6th annual Personal Democracy Forum (www.personaldemocracy.com/conference). Personal Democracy Forum is the world’s largest conference examining how technological advances and Internet trends are reinventing politics, democracy, society and government.

Now in its sixth year, the two day event will be the most comprehensive to date, as an unprecedented cross-partisan roster of more than 1,000 opinion makers, political practitioners, technologists, journalists and bloggers converge to network, exchange ideas and explore the explosion of voter-generated content in 2008; the prospects for a new kind of e-democracy and collaborative governance; and all the ways the Internet, social networks, and mobile communications are fostering more transparency, accountability and innovation. This year’s theme is “We.gov,” focusing attention on how people are using the Internet and interactive communications technologies to transform governance through political campaigns, media, and civic action.
