ABOUT THE 2004 ROUNDTABLE ON PROGRESSIVE POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY

2004 ROUNDTABLE SERIES ON POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY
HOSTED BY FARAI CHIDEYA OF POP AND POLITICS
WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 18, 2004

On November 18, 2004 Pop and Politics will be hosting a roundtable event on progressive politics and technology. With the success of politics on the internet this election year, the 10 year anniversary of the Internet, and new trends in civic engagement, we believe that bringing together key stakeholders in this movement will provide for some valuable reflection and fodder for new innovation come 2005.

The Who, What, When, and Where, Etc.

? Who: The roundtable series will be facilitated by Farai Chideya, founder of Pop & Politics.com.

? What: The Roundtable will be an evening long discussion exploring how technology can be used in 2005 and beyond in bringing together and engaging progressives in new and exciting ways. The Roundtables will consist of 10-15 participants in an engaging back and forth dialogue with each other and the Series' facilitator, Farai Chideya. The Roundtable Series will follow a similar format to the Fred Friendly Seminars on PBS.

? When: The Roundtable will take place on Thursday, November 18, 2004. Pre-roundtable reception starts at 5:30PM with the Roundtable starting at 6:30PM.

? Where: The event will be held at the AFL-CIO at 815 16th Street, N.W. Washington, DC.

? Tickets: Tickets for the event will be $12.00. All labor union members get in free of charge. Tickets can be purchased online or by contacting Ty McCabe at ty at bronxconsulting.com.

We are expecting between 100-150 attendees for this event. We seek to draw participation from both the non-profit and for-profit sectors involved with progressive politics.
