The conference creates an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange innovative research, practice, and solutions to challenges in digital government. The conference hosts panels, research paper sessions, posters, and demonstrations by leaders in digital government scholarship and practice, as well as keynotes from: - Dr. Nabil R. Adam - U.S. Department of Homeland Security: Science and Technology Division; - Dr. Irak López Dávila, Coordinador General de Modernización Administrativa, Gobierno del Distrito Federal, Mexico; and - Mr. Frank Baitman, CIO, U.S. Social Security Administration. More conference details are available at http://dgo2011.dgsna.org/, including the conference program. Registration is now open: https://secure.events-registration.com/dgo2011/ - please register by May 15, 2011 to take advantage of the early registration fee. A reminder that everyone planning to attend Dg.o 2011 should make their hotel reservations now, as our discounted rates expire May 4 and 15. We have arranged discounted hotel rates at three hotels in the area. Details are at http://dgo2011.dgsna.org/hotels-and-travel. We will arrange shuttle bus services between these hotels and the conference venue. It is important that you reserve your rooms now, as the area is hosting the U.S. Open Golf Tournament at the same time, and hotel space in the Washington area is at a premium. We look forward to your participation in a successful Dg.o 2011 conference. Kind regards, John Bertot and Karine Nahon, Conference co-chairs ************************************************************************* John Carlo Bertot, Ph.D. Professor and Director Center for Library & Information Innovation College of Information Studies University of Maryland 4105 Hornbake Building, South Wing College Park, MD 20742 Email: [log in to unmask]<applewebdata:[log in to unmask]> Web (Bertot): http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~jbertot/ Web (Center): http://clii.umd.edu Phone: 301.405.3267 Fax: 301.314.9145 Editor, Library Quarterly (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/lq/current) Editor, Government Information Quarterly (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/govinf/)
