Gov 2.0 Expo Announces First Ever Innovators Pavilion
Pavilion to Stage Forthcoming Government and Industry Technology Innovations
PRNewswire-FirstCall
WASHINGTON
May 13, 2010
Highlights/Key Facts:
-- Under the Gov 2.0 vision, government should become a platform where
people inside and outside government can innovate, feel empowered to
participate and bring new ideas. Platforms lose their power when they
fail to adapt.
-- On May 25-27, Gov 2.0 Expo will become the platform where technology
leaders and visionaries from government and industry will gather and
share the latest innovations through its Innovators Pavilion.
-- For the first time ever, the Pavilion will showcase 15 next-generation
Gov 2.0 companies, such as:
-- DotGov, Inc., which is a Gov 2.0 start-up company based in
Seattle, will be showing how it is developing a mobile platform
that provides citizens with tools to directly interact with their
city in an unprecedented way.
-- CiviGuard, a location-aware, smart phone optimized and cloud-based
emergency communications platform, will be showing its near
real-time civilian outreach.
-- IdeaScale allows users to create real-time feedback communities
based on the concept of crowd sourcing.
-- Other companies include Semantifi, GovLive, DataPortal, Simpler
Systems, Caspio, Mashery, Forio Business Simulations, Igloo
Software, Limehouse Software and Twilio.
-- Co-produced by O'Reilly Media, Inc. and UBM TechWeb, Gov 2.0 Expo will
be held in May 25-27, 2010 at the Walter E. Washington Convention
Center in Washington, D.C.
