We are excited about the upcoming June 4 event, "Beyond the Hype: Government 2.0 for Decision Makers," where we will hear from a great lineup of speakers about innovative ways government agencies are using the web. Click here to register.

We'll learn how different federal agencies are blogging, holding online meetings, using social media, and implementing social networks to accomplish their missions. Below is the list of confirmed speakers, and a mystery guest might make a surprise appearance as well :>)

- Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist: Opening Remarks
- Darren Krape, State Department: Social Media for Public Diplomacy
- Daniel Luxenbery and Sanjay Koyani, FDA: Gov 2.0 and Peanut Product Recall
- Marcus Peacock, formerly EPA: The Art of Blogging for the Feds
- Stacey Young, USAID: Online Events for Microenterprise Collaboration

Presenters will discuss what they've achieved, how they did it, what they learned, and what they wish they had known beforehand. As usual, the presentations will be concise and targeted. Following the presenations, I'll moderate a lively group discussion about what works, what doesn't, and how to get started. It should be a great session.
