Join us for the first ever Bay Area New Media Summit + Celebration on Friday, April 17 at the Bently Reserve, presented by Netroots Nation and the Netroots Arts and Education Initiative.

Technology played a pivotal role in the 2008 election and has forever changed the political landscape. Come hear some of the Bay Area's leading technology and civic leaders discuss how new media is changing not only politics and democracy—but society and business, too.

Learn how to use new media to promote your cause or organization, then celebrate the accomplishments of Netroots activists and Bay Area innovators who pioneered these groundbreaking online organizing techniques. Click here for updated panel and speaker information.

At the summit, choose from sessions on blogging, viral video, mobile campaigns, social networking and much more. Then, stick around us for an open bar, hors d'oeuvres, special guests, live music and dancing into the night.
