What: A one day interactive conference discussing government successes, challenges and strategies for using social media to engage and educate the community. Social media is being integrated into all aspects of our society and government is no exception. Since social media encourages us to build relationships, its only fitting for a social media conference to do the same. Come prepared to participate both in person and online. Bring your questions, your ideas and your PDAs!
