…In Your Neighborhood

You may be familiar with the Netroots Nation national conference (formerly known as the YearlyKos Conference). It’s now coming to the great state of Colorado.

Want to know more? Well here’s what the focus of this event will be:

Election night was the culmination of months, even years of effort, to elect progressive candidates. Now that the votes are counted, how do we translate the enthusiasm of the 2008 campaign volunteers into advocating and working for progressive policies at the state and national level?

Explore this topic at the first ever Netroots Nation in Your Neighborhood, scheduled for Saturday, February 28 in Westminster, CO. It’s everything you love about the annual national conference–insightful panels, networking opportunities and fascinating presentations–all in a handy, one-day package.

We’ve lined up some great panelists including:

• David Sirota, author of “The Uprising”
• Adam Green, formerly of MoveOn, now with Change Congress
• Alice Madden, Former Colorado House Majority Leader
• Wendy Norris, editor of Colorado Independent
• Mike Lux, formerly of OpenLeft now with Change.gov

And many more great speakers are already on the agenda with more to come. Click here to see the full agenda. Oh, and admission is free! But you must register to save your spot since we only have space for 100.

Generous sponsors include SquareState and ProgressNow.
