Description
When citizens interact with their government, powerful things can happen. Government 2.0 means doing more with small teams, and even the power of one. It means exploiting global creativity and changing workplace models and traditional designs for carrying out missions. It means infusing old processes with new technology. It means unlocking stores of data that can better inform and empower people about their communities, and governments about decision making. It means change has come to America.
Web 2.0 technology has shown that transparency, participation, collaboration add up to increased efficiency for the technology industry. Gov 2.0 harnesses this same effect for the public good. Gov 2.0 is the power to change the world.
Gov 2.0 Expo 2010 will showcase the real-world application of Web 2.0 technologies in government and municipal sectors, featuring a practical program that will teach government employees and contractors how to apply technology best practices to government programs, and in turn introduce new companies to the government market.
