Federal Computer Week, in partnership with Adobe, invites you to an executive breakfast “Transparency, Public Participation, Collaboration – How to Craft Your Agency’s Open Government Plan,” to be held February 18, 2010 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. This educational breakfast for government professionals will bring together senior government officials, technology and open government leaders to discuss and debate the issues facing each agency as it moves to develop its open government plan.

Is YOUR agency prepared for this initiative?

On December 8, 2009, the White House issued its Open Government Directive. Within 120 days, every agency in the federal government must publish its individual Open Government Plan, outlining how it will meet the renewed transparency, public participation and collaboration mission of the federal government.


Attend this event and learn how you can help your agency meet the requirements of the Open Government Plan. From the development of a public-facing website to an inventory of high-value information, the Open Government Directive encourages significant re-evaluation of agency management, technology methodologies and administrative policies.
Find the guidance you need and learn:
  • How to craft an Open Government Plan that helps to consolidate agency processes and improve the public mission
  • How your agency can respond in a very timely manner to meet the aggressive timelines of the Open Government Directive
  • What ubiquitous technologies are available in the commercial sector that government can leverage to enable better information and data sharing
  • How agencies can publish their information on public-facing dashboards
  • How to share all-inclusively by addressing the need to make information accessible and readable by people as well as machine-readable for technology applications and mash-ups
  • Best practices and examples of approaches to share information in open formats
  • A holistic approach to managing privacy, security risks and authentication issues
  • How does the Open Government Directive affect FOIA
