Gov's Next Generation

Word is that there's few, if any, feds over 40 years old at the conference, and it should come as no surprise that the overarching theme appears to be technology and open government.
The Next Generation of Government Summit is taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday in Arlington, Va., and while Wired Workplace is a few too many miles away to attend, I've been following the tweets and live blog posts from the summit. Word is that there's few, if any, feds over 40 years old at the conference, and it should come as no surprise that the overarching theme appears to be technology and open government.
Here are some key questions I've taken away from the summit thus far:
- Will daily briefings for federal workers be scrapped in favor of Twitter and blogs?
- Is social media and Government 2.0 more about the technology or about changing the way government does business?
- Do agencies have the human power to make engagement tools effective?
- How can the government enable niche audiences or career fields to find or interact with each other?
