Event Details

Notes:

To the Open Government Community,

You are invited to Open Government: Strategies and Tactics from the PlaybookThis will be the first in a series around the Open Government Directive and specifically designed to create a community of support for implementation.

Who: Those who are blazing the trail of open government-- this first event is for pioneers who have already begun work prior to the Open Government Directive being released.

Why: Successful implementation of the Open Government Directive will require a sustained effort by the open government community.  This series of workshops will build upon previous conferences to foster sustained knowledge sharing among open gov pioneers until the open government movement goes mainstream within government.

What: This event will provide space for conversation about effective open government practices that have already been implemented, with an eye toward the upcoming Open Government Directive.  Video and slides from all the presentations will be compiled into an evolving resource entitled the Open Government Playbook to which anyone may contribute.
 
When: November 16, 2009 from 9:30am-12:30pm
 
Where: Martin Luther King Jr. Library, Room A5, 901 G Street NW, Washington, DC and streamed live online.
