Congress Camp
CongressCamp is an unconference focused on the “Congress” side of Gov 2.0 and how web-based social and collaboration technologies are being used, or could be used, to transform engagement with the public. CongressCamp is an open forum for everyone working in this space, so that you may learn from each other. Unconferences are less structured than a typical conference and feature user-led participatory workshops and break-out sessions that will be defined collaboratively at the start of each day.
Sound crazy? You'll find it incredibly powerful for getting answers to the tough questions that you've been wrestling with. The reality is that this field is so new that if you're working in it, you ARE an expert. So come and share your knowledge, learn from your peers, and help build a better future!!
