Gov 2.0 is a worldwide revolution—from the United States to Australia
and everywhere in between. Members of government are interacting with
citizens via social media and open data efforts are spreading from
city to city. At this Gov 2.0 Online Conference, you'll hear about
open government efforts in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Israel. The
speakers will share stories and lessons learned, and answer your
questions. Learn about some of the Gov 2.0 best practices that have
helped effect important change in other countries, and discuss
effective ways to use specific tools and processes in other settings.

Israel Gov 2.0: from Awareness to Implementation
Speaker: Yaron Gamburg, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Gov 2.0 in Israel is still in its initial stage. There are many
initiatives in different agencies, primarily in the central
government. However, these initiatives are bottom-up developments, and
we need strong sponsors at the senior level of the government to make
a significant change.
U.K. Innovations in Gov 2.0
Speaker: Dominic Campbell, FutureGov
This talk will look at Britain's contribution to the Gov20 agenda,
where it started from, who led it and why it took the election of
Barack Obama 3000 miles away to spur the government into action.
Program subject to refinement. All talks are 30 minutes, with a 15
minute break at US-PST: 10:00am (US-EST: 1:00pm).
