Description:

Open Gov West (OGW) is a two day conference designed to help governments, technologists, and civic sector organizations explore open government and gov 2.0 topics.

OGW's day one is filled with panelists who are leaders and innovators in their fields--from emergency service professionals using innovative technology to solve on-the ground needs, to sunlight law experts redefining what it means to be a transparent government. Day two features an "unconference" format, much like a large "poster session" where best of breed ideas, projects, and research bubble up. If you've never been to an unconference, you'll find the format to be an exciting opportunity to engage deeply around the topics you want answers on. Check opengovwest.org for our speaker and panel announcements, including our call for speakers.

The conference pass includes access to a Ignite Gov on Thursday night, the conference social event in the Jupiter Hotel's "Dream Tent" on Friday night, conference materials, catered breakfast and lunch (not your normal conference food---we're catering via Portland's famous, gourmet food trucks).

More details on OGW '11 are at http://opengovwest.org, keep checking as we announce speakers, travel discounts, conference housing, and special event details. The OGW's volunteer organizing team is hard at work, making this the best OGW conference yet! Grab your ticket early, Open Gov West conferences sell out!
