Tech@State: Wiki.Gov - Looking for Ignite Session Ideas
Posted by techATstate on May 17, 2012 at 9:30am 1 Comment 0 Promotions
For our next event, Tech@State: Wiki.Gov, we're pleased to be part of Wikimania 2012, scheduled for July 12-13 in Washington, DC. We'll host the Wikis and the Public Sector track of Wikimania and are planning sessions filled with discussions that center on how wikis and their associated technologies can be used:
- In the federal government to collaborate internally, and share information across agencies;
- At the local level to engage citizens and provide greater access to a variety of information; and
- By research institutions and civil society organizations to improve collaboration.
We've got some great presentations lined up, but can use your help to fill out the agenda. In addition to keynote addresses and panel discussions, we're planning to feature a series of Ignite sessions and are looking for recommendations and suggestions on how wiki technologies could be used to:
- Increase collaboration in diverse environments;
- Encourage greater citizen participation and engagement at all levels of government; or
- Provide greater access to vital information to citizens around the world.
