Bycraigthomler
Canberra’s free Gov 2.0 lunchtime events continue for the fourth year in 2013, with the first monthly event featuring two great presentations:

  • “R.I.P. to the media release, hello crowd sources” on the use of social media in real-time emergency communications by Darren Cutrupi of the ACT Emergency Services Agency, and 
  • “The British Invasion – how Gov 2.0 is taking the UK by storm” on the state of Government 2.0 in the UK, from British-based Ben Fowkes of Delib UK.
Update: Note that Ben isn’t able to give a presentation on the UK GovCamp that was scheduled on 19 January as it was delayed due to snow.
