The Open Government & Innovations Conference, “OGI” for short, is jam-packed with world-renowned speakers, cutting-edge research and real-life case studies (you can see the details in all of their glory here). Whether you work in the public or private sector, you’re going to learn a ton and make dozens of contacts.
To make sure that you get the most out of your OGI experience, the OGI Conference Advisory Board pulled together five “must see” resources that will help you to prepare!
1. President Obama’s Memorandum on Transparency & Open Government (January 2009)
2. Social Media and the Federal Government:
Perceived and Real Barriers and Potential Solutions (by members of the Federal Web Managers Council)
3. Did You Know 2.0 (by XPlane)
4. Social Media in Plain English (by CommonCraft)
5. Twitter in Plain English (by CommonCraft)

Thanks, Maxine. I’d also add the UsNow Film as inspiration to consider the possibilities of “Government 2.0.” For getting started on Twitter, you can’t beat the GovTwit Directory. And the GovLoop wiki has several great resource lists, such as “Best Gov 2.0 Sites for Social Media Newbies” and “Gov 2.0 Examples.” And I am sure others will share their favorites!
