Gov 2.0 L.A. 2012 is upon us shortly. Gov 2.0 LA started last year as a way to bring people who are not usually together in the same room to be able to openly discuss both Government 2.0 and the technology around it as well as form long standing interpersonal relationships. Alan W. Silberberg Opening Remarks Gov 2.0 L.A. 2/12/2011 from Gov20LA on Vimeo. The 2010 and 2011 events did all that and more. The Twitter hashtag #gov20la that was primarily used for the event has been in continuous year around use with discussions and links about Government 2.0 and gov tech. Very few live events see their hashtags be used for more than a month after the event. There was tremendous innovation and ideas that carried forward into 2010 through the manifestation of many other events as well as actual opengov and gov 2.0 success stories. Personally I have said to many that it was a humbling experience - all these amazing people came together in a place they had never heard of just to take their industry further.

https://twitter.com/?list_id=gov20la-2012-speakers#!/IdeaGov/gov20la-2012-speakers/members1111111111 We are past the point where the “Gov 2.0” in our name does more than evoke recognition. It is time to focus not on the theoretical but on the practical and how that is working or not. This past year the world has witnessed upheaval and change on a scale that is new to all of us. When we did Gov20LA 2011 - Tunisia had just fallen, and the crisis in Egypt was just erupting in full; we had a collection of the some of the world’s leading thinkers about guess what: social media in times of crisis and governments. It was to be sure pretty amazing timing. This year we don’t expect any world revolutions while holding the event again, but who knows? We do know that the speaker lineup is getting better everyday. In addition to certain key sponsors we are also going to be crowdsourcing some of the event costs in a way to involve more of the live stream audience in addition to those attending. The three themes of this upcoming Gov20LA are going to be: 1. Business inside Government and how it is rapidly becoming different, things like SCRM are being deployed and government is basically being forced to restructure itself. 2. Goverments use and management of social media in crisis like the earthquake, hurricanes, wildfires and large scale urban fires, and protests and riots. 3. Engagement is now being taken as a for granted thing, “everyone has a facebook page” but how real is it and how are crowd-sourcing and public private partnerships re-arranging the landscape? gerardo z. h.
