International Symposium on Local E-Democracy
July 26-27, 2005 - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA 
http://dowire.org/localedem


The International Symposium on Local E-Democracy 
is a dynamic conference exploring leading e-democracy 
trends around the world. The next day, a field trip 
to the "wired" chambers of the Minnesota State 
Legislature and Northfield, Minnesota's community 
blogging efforts along with traveling color commentary 
will bring one of birthplaces of "e-democracy" to life.

This is the world's first international conference 
focused specifically on local e-democracy. We expect
representatives of a number of government, non-profit, 
research, and civic organisations to attend. If you are 
interested in improving governance and citizen 
participation in the information age, this conference 
is for you. 

The symposium is sponsored by the Office of the Deputy 
Prime Minister in the United Kingdom and the UK Local 
e-Democracy National Project along with other partners.
