Description
Creating a More Transparent and Open Government by Using, Analyzing and Understanding Social Media and the Citizens it Connects
During President Obama s first day in office he sent a memo to all government agencies requiring them to develop an Open Government Directive to ensure that the government is transparent, participatory and collaborative. One of the most common ways government agencies are implementing that directive is through social media. However, along the way they have been running into challenges.
This event is needed to provide solutions and ideas for federal government agencies to ensure they are meeting the Open Government Directive. Many conferences have attempted to help government agencies with social media, but only at the basic level and none are geared solely towards federal government.
The purpose of this event is to provide ADVANCED solutions and ideas to the policy, security, monitoring and measuring struggles that many agencies face daily, and to discuss what will be coming next in the social media realm.
