Enterprise 2.0 for Government Event Feeler

Hello GovLoopers,

I wanted to put out a feeler for a conference I am planning to happen sometime in June (as soon as I get a venue confirmed).

I am looking to do a conference in the style of TED in which speakers/presenters can showcase their work/idea/thought/project with a 15-20minute slot time. In addition, would be able to showcase their stuff in an exhibit hall for more of a deep dive.

I am also looking to see if there would be interest in a barcamp, if this was a multi-day event. Right now, I am thinking it would be 1-2 days depending on the submissions to present.

The goal of the event is to really make aware of other Government members of projects that highlight efficiency, collaboration, cost-effectiveness, and reusibility. The end customer would be high level decision makers in Federal and Local Government, as this will be somewhere inside the DC-Metro area.

If you are interested in helping out, presenting, or sharing ideas. I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for all the interest in helping. Just to update, due to conference fatigue and the big enterprise 2.0 event in Boston in June, we've moved this event to October. Maxine, I am excited to hear it.

Hi Andrea - the CG would be a great example - let me know if I can help in any way.

I am hoping 200-400, but much of that will be determined when i put up an official call for papers. Also, we've moved the event to October now.

Andrea, how many people do you expect to come? I'm sure we could use the Oracle space in Reston if you're interested.

Reposted with consolidated details on my personal blog. Expect a planning wiki to be launched soon.

Depending if logistics could be worked out, I'd be interested in leading a Boston event to occur simultaneous to the one in DC. There are several Govloopers up here, so I'm thinking something like the casino rooms with simulcast horse racing around the country. Again, don't know about logistics but something to consider.

If you knew me, that would be a given. I would run a channel on mogulus. I'm planning to keep this unclass and transparent.

It would be great if the event were streamed so that those not able to make it can see it live.
