The Event? A chance for Government of Canada employees to get together and talk about what they're doing with social media and new technologies. A chance to meet others in communications, marketing, web development, design (and any other job description) to find some inspiration, some motivation and help build a community.

It's a lot like the hugely successful event held over in the United Kingdom last month. Ideas, demonstrations, crazy suggestions, demonstrations of projects already under way - and all on a schedule set up by the people who show up to participate.

When? Very soon, but still up in the air. Preferably before Parliament Resumes Sitting.

Help Decide! Sooner is better than later. Would you prefer 1: Last week of August 2: First week of September 3: First week of October

Where? Definitely in Ottawa. We're weighing options, with a central location being preferable. Maybe the Code Factory.
