A few months ago, we asked everyone what issues they wanted to hear about at this summer's Netroots Nation conference. After receiving more than 350 panel submissions, we've narrowed our agenda down to the 70 panels (in addition to the parties, trainings, screenings and other fun events) that will be presented in Minneapolis June 16-19.
If you'd like to get right down to business, you can browse the panels here. And don't forget to register to attend while you're at it.
Follow me over the flip for the rest.
With your help, we've created a well-rounded, engaging agenda that will help shape the dialog for progressives in the coming months. There's a little something for everyone here. There are sessions that focus on building long-term capacity within the progressive movement, pushing the practice of online and offline organizing forward and changing the debate on policies. And we'll offer panels on almost every topic, from labor and immigration to environmental justice and conservation.
There are still a handful we're working on, but those should be posted in the coming days. And we'll be filling in speakers, times, and rooms for each of these as well.
It's tough to pick a sampling of panels to show off the great agenda we have this year, but here are just a few of my personal favorites.
It's tough to pick, but you can start figuring out which ones are your favorites right here.
Our team is now turning our attention to finishing up the rest of our programming. In the next few weeks, we'll be adding information on 30 hands-on training sessions, plus details about our annual Screening Series, social events and keynotes. Last year the training sessions were standing room only, and we expect another great program this year.
Also look out for an announcement about Netroots Nation's mobile app in the near future. For the first time we're going to be launching one to help you connect with other folks attending and stay on top of the panel schedule.
We're all really excited about this here and we're glad we're finally able to share some of the results of the work we've been doing the last several months.
Don't miss out on this year's conference and your chance to help build a better movement and shape the progressive dialog for the coming year. Go get your registration now and don't forget to book your hotel too.
