Web 2.0: Getting Your Users Involved

November 9th, National Press Club, Washington, DC, 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Join this executive-level discussion of how interactive technologies can help better engage your key audiences. This session will feature a set of overviews and case studies on how new tools can help public policy (and other) organizations in outreach, in collaboration, and in having a stronger impact. We'll discuss tactics and real-world experience in moving from a web site which publishes information to a web site which engages users.

This event targets issues facing public policy organizations, but is widely applicable to other sectors. Everyone is cordially welcomed!
