This Thursday 26 February I’m liveblogging from Microsoft’s second Politics and Technology Forum in Canberra. This year’s theme is “Campaigning Online”.
Keynote speaker is Joe Trippi (pictured), heralded as the man who reinvented political campaigning thanks to his work on many US campaigns for the Democrats, and author of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet and the Overthrow of Everything. He’s also a political analyst with MSNBC and much more, as his Wikipedia entry or Twitter stream reveal.
The political panellists are federal Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull (who tweets as @TurnbullMalcolm) and Labor’s Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner, who’s been pushing for better government use of technology for some time.
Our MC is Mark Pesce, who himself has covered similar topics in presentations like Hyperpolitics, American Style.
Bookmark this page, ‘cos the liveblog will start here at around 8.45am Canberra time on 26 February.

My presence at the Politics and Technology Forum is made possible thanks to Nick Hodge and Microsoft.
