Social Media Club SF/SV February 17, 2009

How can Social Media transform government? What role does Social Media play in achieving government transparency? A panel of experts will discuss ways Social Media can change federal and local government by sharing case studies of current Social Media usage in government and discussing the challenges and obstacles facing widespread adoption of Social Media.

Our speakers this month come from various agencies and will be sharing their experiences of working with Social Media within a government agency.

* David Canepa - City Councilman in Daly City
* Evan Ratliff - writer for Wired Magazine
* Veronica McGregor - Manages the Mars/Rover Twitter account
* Moderated by J.J. Toothman - Web Strategist for Stanford
