Dear colleagues
You are welcome to participate in this event via live webcast and online
discussion. It is organized as a special session of e-India 2008 conference.
The speakers will discuss the challenges and opportunities for transforming
government in the 21st century with the help of Web 2.0 and other latest
technologies towards a more efficient, inclusive and participative government.
Government 2.0 model of open and participatory governance can redefine the
relationship between citizens and their governments through more citizen-centric
and citizen-driven approaches and could be the next generation of e-Governance.
Gov 2.0 can empower common people to influence and drive public policy and
service delivery as creators, designers and active participants.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Warm Regards,
Oleg Petrov

Program Description
Transforming governments is not easy. While technology alone cannot transform governments, governments today cannot
transform without technology. In the fast paced world of technology, new approaches constantly extend the boundaries
of what is possible. The pace of change is evidenced by the fact that terms like SOA, WOA, community sourcing, cloud
computing, software-as-a-service, and Web 2.0 that seem almost common place today, were not in the lexicon only a few
years ago. It would be good to step back and take a dispassionate view of where the practice of government is heading.
Some interesting questions, in a 5-10 years time perspective include:
What is the future of government? Is technology facilitating a movement towards minimalist government?
Joined-up, seamless government: is it feasible?
What is likely to be the next frontier in moving from e-government to i-government to u-government*?
How will government services be delivered in the future? What technologies are likely to be most relevant?
What should governments do to leverage existing and emerging technologies to achieve transformation?
What are the major challenges in moving towards Government 2.0 and beyond?
* Note: "i" stands for integrated government (Singapore) and "u" is for ubiquitous government (Korea)
