Join us at the first conference dedicated to local e-democracy: http://dowire.org/localedem This conference is organised by the UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister with the UK Local E-democracy National Project. For those from the research community, it will offer insights into government-based e-participation activities as well as offer an opportunity to share emerging trends with citizen online activity with government leaders. If you are interested in helping convene a small group session or in making a "60 second pitch" to full conference, see the website and register today (I even snuck in a student rate). If you want further conference updates, send an e-mail to: localedem-subscribe@dowire.org The second day will take us into the field and extensive networking opportunities will abound.
