Federal #SocialGov Summit, Tuesday, November 27

From the DigitalGov blog:

"Register today to join a hundred of your fellow federal social media managers and directors at the Federal #SocialGov Summit, Tuesday, November 27 from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.

The Department of Transportation is hosting us this month, and their team is eager to share case studies from many of their innovative programs that use citizen engagement and enhanced web services to improve outcomes.

DOT is joined by our co-hosts from the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, whose ePolicyWorks program is at the cutting edge of accessibility services in government. They will host an interactive panel workshop on accessibility and, with your help, will identify what we can do to meet emerging challenges head-on.

This month’s summit is the next in a series of events for the new objective-focused solver community, dedicated to identifying and developing solutions to shared needs among agencies. Participants are from mission areas across government, including healthcare, intelligence, defense, science and research, and from all-star teams within agencies to one-deep shops driving innovation."
