Thanks to Micah Sifry and the organizers of Personal Democracy Forum 2009 for the invitation to speak at this year’s conference held June 29 - 30 at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. I’ll be talking about the impact that social media is having on state and local politics.

Conference participants include: Frank Rich of The New York Times, Ana Marie Cox of Air America, Craig Newmark of Craig’s List, White House CIO Vivek Kundra, Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com, Karen Tumulty of TIME, David Amalcy of the Bush administration, Gina Bianchini of Ning.com, Randi Zuckerberg of Facebook, Steve Grove of YouTube, RNC Director of Online Media Liz Mair, Andy Carvin of NPR, Brian Stelter of The New York Times, Josh Silver of Free Press, Mark McKinnon of McCain ‘08, Joe Rospars of Obama ‘08 and many more . . .

I’ll provide more details when I have them. It should be a cool experience.
