Seattle – The City of Seattle will host the first regional open government conference to discuss best practices for new technologies that relate to opening up City data, new public engagement tools to enhance communication with the government, and improving customer service access and response.
Government 2.0 tools are progressing at the city, state, and federal level. These tools are transforming the way citizens communicate with the government and are empowering governments to be more efficient.
The two-day conference will bring together community activists, regional technology companies, regional policy makers, and local and state agency representatives. Through this conference, regional leaders can share and collaborate on Government 2.0 tools and establish regional partnerships on technology and transparency policies. Open Gov West is sponsored by the Seattle City Council and Mayor McGinn’s office.
