"The demand to attend the Summit speaks to the power of the Gov 2.0 movement and the potential for substantive change," said Tim O'Reilly, CEO and founder of O'Reilly Media and co-chair of the Summit. "To meet the challenges of this era, we need to fundamentally rethink of the role of government and explore what it means when we see government as a platform. We're pleased to convene a dynamic group of leaders who can drive this agenda forward."

Gov 2.0 Summit will be limited to just over 600 attendees, and focused on strategy and networking. The format is a two-day executive-level conference featuring talk-show style interviews with senior officials and executives, ground-breaking case studies and networking events.
