on
their *The Next Big Thing in Open Government series* that will focus on the
use of media and technology to accelerate open government in the digital
age. The event will bring together senior media and business leaders,
investors, public officials, and influential advocates for a half-day
program on the importance of open government and the technologies that are
driving change in this area.
Two executive sessions will be followed by pitch sessions in which
innovators and entrepreneurs will present new ventures and initiatives that
are making possible greater access to information and deeper civic
engagement. Following this session, all participants will join a roundtable
luncheon discussion of their choice.
