Malmo09: the popular conference
The
first popular European e-government conference takes place in Malmö,
Sweden 19-20 November 2009. It coincides with the 5th official EU e-gov
event in the same city. The popular Malmo09 event aims to offer a
memorable creative statement of what Europeans really want from
e-enabled government.
Anyone interested is
welcome to apply to speak, participate contribute ideas or help in any
other way. It is particularly aimed at European digital-rights
organisations, consumer advocates, and those with a political,
academic, artistic or design interest in e-government. No presentation
will last longer than eight minutes. Music, pictures and video content
is welcome. The event will close with awards for the "pertinent art"
which best expresses popular feeling about e-government, and for the
best independently coded or mashed-up projects based on public data or
public services.
What else is happening in Malmo:
Ministerial Meeting 18 November
EU
Ministers meet on the eve of the conference, 18 November 2009, to
finalise a Ministerial Declaration on eGovernment to 2015. That will be
presented jointly by the Swedish Presidency and the European Commission
on the first day of the Conference.
Official Conference 19-20 November
The
official by-invitation-only conference promises high-level speakers,
1000 delegates including officials, business and academia. We weren't
invited and form no part of the official proceedings, but hope to offer
a constructive and complementary set of insights and ideas in
partnership with the official event. |
