Personal Democracy Forum - Sponsored by Google

Keynote Conversation with Eric Schmidt and Thomas Friedman

Technology and the Internet are changing democracy in America. Every year, the nation's leading technologists, campaign organizers, politicos, bloggers, activists and journalists come together in New York City for a high-level conversation about the new tools, sites and practices that are transforming elections and government.

• How is voter-generated content changing election campaigns?
• Why should advocacy groups adapt to the connected age?
• What new technology tools and practices are on the horizon?
• How are new technologies democratizing the political process?
• Which political leaders "get it"?

PdF unConference May 19th!

This year, we'll continue Friday's conversations on Saturday at the first ever PDF unConference.

* Got an idea for a hands-on workshop?
* Eager to hash over your latest project?
* Dying to dig deep into the latest technology tool or trend?

At the PDF unConference, there is no audience, only participants.

There are no "official" sessions; you drive the agenda. We'll provide the space, the food, the caffeine and the wifi; you do the rest.
