LocalGovCamp is an event for anyone interested in social media and its relevance to local authorities.

The London event will take place on Thursday 4 March at Kings Place.

The event is being run as a 'barcamp' or unconference.  That means its an open, participatory workshop-style event. There are no fees, and advance organisation around venue, catering and promotion is done by volunteers. 

The format is geared to encouraging conversation as well as presentations. Agendas are set by the participants. We will bring in conversation facilitators, specialists, and local community heroes to listen and speak to, and develop ideas with. There will be an afternoon session specifically for councillors on social media engagement.

If you want to join in - it may sound weird but it works - go to http://london.localgovcamp.com to find out more - and if you've got a topic idea you can post it there to test interest in advance.
