We invite you to participate in the Internet Identity Workshop - East Coast #1 in Washington DC, USA September 9-10, 2010.

Registration: http://iiweast.eventbrite.com/

Theme
Open Identity for Open Government
 
How does it work?
After the brief introduction on the first day, there are no formal presentations, no keynotes and no panels. After introductions we start with a blank wall and, in less than an hour, with a facilitator guiding the process attendees create a full day, multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone there. All are welcome to put forward presentations and propose conversations.
We do this in part because the field is moving so rapidly that it doesn’t make sense to predetermine the presentation schedule months before the event. We do know great people who will be there and it is the attendees who have a passion to learn and contribute to the event that will make it.
The event compiles a book of proceedings with all the notes from the conference.  Here are the proceedings from IIW7, IIW8, IIW9 & IIW10.  BTW these three documents are your key to convincing your employer that this event will be valuable. 
 
Conference fee covers all meeting meals - lunch Thursday and Friday, dinner Thursday evening.

Cheers,
Dervla
