Request :: Can we have your vote for Gov 2.0?

This is an odd post for me, but I’m asking for your vote.

The 1105 Government Information Group has announced a Call for Participation for the 2nd Open Government & Innovations Conference, OGI to be held May 4-5, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, DC.

The Business Transformation Agency (my team) would like an opportunity to speak on the subject of “Implementing Web 2.0 in the U.S. Government.” We have been very active in trying to implement Web 2.0 (through MilBook, GovLoop and others), and we have collected a bunch of lessons learned and would like an opportunity to share them at this conference.

The only way we get to present s if lots of people vote to hear about this subject. The only way to vote is with a Twitter account. If you would like your vote to count towards “Implementing Web 2.0 in the U.S. Government,” please follow this hyperlink, log in with your Twitter account and cast your vote.

Here are the proposed objectives of our presentation:

• Risk mitigation strategies for Web 2.0 Implementation – set goals
• Community polling results and lesson’s learned from the shop floor
