Gov 2.0 - Technology & Public Engagement
20 Mar - 09:00 AM
Beaumont, United States
From 'Open Data' to 'Gov 2.0' to 'hackathons' to 'online engagement platforms', technology is fundamentally changing the relationship between citizens and their governments. Unfortunately, understanding of what different terms mean, and what technologies should be used for particular enterprises hasn't caught up with all of these changes. This interactive seminar will explore:  - A New Vocabulary - understand how various terms interact with each other and sometimes overlap - How Purpose Determines Platform - know your goals for citizen interaction and the technology will follow - Thinking like an Online Marketer - the importance of outreach in the digital space - Does Online Engagement = Public Engagement? This seminar is designed for city staff, elected officials, school district leaders, and county/regional officials.
