We’ve spent the summer laying the groundwork for our annual Politics Online Conference (POLC), one of our premiere events each year. This will be our 15th POLC, and we’re planning a big one. It will be March 4th & 5th in Washington. Mark your calendars.

If you take a moment to think of all the year’s developments in politics, tech and the Internet, you’ll understand why we’re already excited. We’ve had a YouTube debate, a cyber war in Estonia, record breaking online political giving, and a constant stream of innovation from both those in the political realm and Silicon Valley. We’re going to have a lot of ground to cover, and we hope you join the conversation.

We’ve already nailed down some innovative speakers. One panel we’re really excited for is “Political Cartography 2.0: Web Mapping and the Election Cycle.” Chad and EJ from Mapthecandidates.com will chair the panel and lead some interesting discussion on the role of mapping in getting out the vote and data analysis.We’ve spent the summer laying the groundwork for our annual Politics Online Conference (POLC), one of our premiere events each year.
