Hi Folks,
I saw an announcement for OpenGov West (May 13-14) on a different Google Group last week, and thought I'd forward since it is an opportunity to move the work that we're all doing forward.
This looks like it's going to draw a great crowd. They've posted some discount codes for airlines and hotels in the attached brochure and a code for discounted registration is in the full details below.
It looks like the opengov community is finally entering a new stage of growth, despite the cutbacks in federal and state budgets. Congrats to non-profit Knowledge As Power for putting on such a large event!

Knowledge As Power is hosting it's 2nd Open Gov West conference on May 13th & 14th, in Portland, Oregon. It's our fourth large open government event in just over a year, with about 300 people from across the western US and Canada meeting to discuss open gov practices, policy, technology, and civic engagement. OGW is a two day conference, with day one a traditional conference with a lot of panels across five tracks. Day two is an unconference, which includes a cross-government hackathon (details coming this week!). There's travel discounts for flying or taking rail to Portland, low cost conference housing, and, as we've had for every OGW event, a scholarship application process for those whose organizations or governments can't support their travel.

You can find out more about the conference at OpenGovWest.org and our $10 off promo code is 2daysinMay, good through April 10th. You'll find speaking opportunities have been extended to the end of this week, too. Hope to see you there!
Best,
