			<title><![CDATA[2009-12-14: Gov 2.5  Using Social Media to Improve Government Services and Engage the Public]]></title>
			<link>http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4885233</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Government 2.5 conference aims to bring various participants and stakeholders within all aspects of government at the local, state and federal levels together to learn how best to apply social media toward improving government services and allowing the public to participant in policy debate and the spending of tax dollars.  This conference will be focused on providing existing concrete examples from both within government and private industry that can be applied within your own agency or business. We will be setting a tone within this conference for new solutions and ideas to take shape. An atmosphere for creativity and discussion is first and foremost, and attendee participation will both be fostered and encouraged.  If you have an interest in making government more efficient through applied information technology and social media, then this conference is for you.  Something Different In The Typical Conference Format  The conference will also include two evening Town Hall meetings presented and produced by Cat-Strat | Productions.  Monday Night – This Town Hall will explore Social Media’s impact on Government, Politics and The Election Process.  Tuesday Night – This Town Hall will explore how Social Media is impacting public debate in the context of key policy discussions such as health care reform.  The Town Halls will be highly spirited, interactive and wrapped in a social context. Input and ideas will be documented and channeled to policy makers and public officials after the conference.  Do You Have An Interesting Story or Unique Application to Share?  At this time we are still welcoming abstracts from all interested speakers to present on how social media can and is being used to improve government services and engage the public. All topics are currently welcome, and we encourage participation from all levels and forms of government including: local, state, federal, international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).  We aim to create one of the most compelling and intense two-day conferences on the intersection of social media and government and would like to make the selection of topics as diverse as possible. This conference should be seen and viewed as a grassroots effort to demonstrate and highlight those within public service that are at the cutting edge to innovative within government. All selected speakers will receive a complementary registration pass. For those that are interested in speaking and presenting, please email a short one paragraph abstract on your topic with contact information (email and phone number) to proposals@government25.com, and put Government 2.5 in the subject line. We will be accepting abstracts until November 25th, 2009.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[2009-12-02: Wonderful Copenhagen? A Preview of the Upcoming Climate Change Conference]]></title>
			<link>http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4889805</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Host: The Heritage Foundation. Delegates from the Unites States and other nations will soon gather in Copenhagen to work on a successor treaty to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, whose provisions expire in 2012. Many proponents of the Kyoto Protocol had hoped that the Copenhagen conference would conclude with a major new agreement containing stringent, binding, and enforceable post-2012 targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the decades ahead. Supporters of such a deal also expressed optimism that President Obama would get America to join in this new agreement. But reality is intruding. The Kyoto Protocol approach has proven to be far from a success that deserves to be extended. Join us as our panelists discuss the many issues facing the attendees at the Copenhagen conference.]]></description>
