About Social Media Today
I started working on Government 2.0 at the Kennedy School just about a year ago, and it has been an amazing time. I’ve attended amazing events, met many hard-working and dedicated people, hosted some great events for HKS students, and have found an amazing group of HKS students who are super passionate about making government work better for all people.
I am most excited for one of our upcoming events – the Government 2.0 Camp New England – taking place Saturday March 6th at the Kennedy School – an un-conference being planned with representatives from the HKS Gov20 PIC, the Joan Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics, and Public Policy, MIT, Mass.gov, and O’Reilly Media. We hope to bring together representatives from academia, government and the public to discuss using social media tools and Web 2.0 technologies to create a more effective, efficient and collaborative government.
You can find more information on our wiki, and register through eventbrite. You can also follow us on Twitter and keep track of our activities using the Twitter hashtag #gov20ne.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or anyone else on the organizing committee: @laurelatoreilly, @sarahebourne, @jessweiss, or @rgoodspeed.
The Government 2.0 community is exceptionally inclusive and collaborative, and this is reflecting in the diversity of folks who have already signed up. I hope to see you there too!
