This year, I have the honor and privilege of attending the conference as one of twenty Google Fellows. My fellow Fellows are doing some amazing work at the intersection of politics and technology and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from them at PDF. Thank you Google!
This will be my third time attending the Personal Democracy Forum, and according to the speaker line-up, this year's PDF could be the best yet. For those of you attending PDF, I would love to know which presentations you are most excited to see. Feel free to leave your favorites in the comment section below. Here are the five presentations I am most excited to hear:
- How Republicans are Innovating in Online Campaigning: Mindy Finn, Rob Willington, Ryan Gravatt, David All (moderator)
