The event series is being run by Digital Northern Ireland 2020.

The Digital Northern Ireland 2020 (DNI2020) Advisory Board was set up in 2010. The body wants to promote Northern Ireland as one of the world’s Global Cloud Computing Nodes.

Access to high speed reliable broadband is a key source of economic growth in the 21st Century. Widespread access will enable the transformation of citizen services. Robust, resilient international connectivity will enable Northern Ireland to act as an effective knowledge worker hub in the Global Economy. This will mean more jobs, faster growth, stronger investment, improved efficiencies and better quality of life for all.

It’s very early days but I wanted to pop something up here so that people had something to read about Government2010.  We’ll be launching the Government2010 web site shortly.  But be sure to follow me on Twitter to stay up to date.  [Stop Press: Beta Site Now Launched]

Government2010 will be a live interactive streamed conference that will take place (provisional date) on October 22nd 2009 in London.  The event will be streamed, live, globally.  Anyone, anywhere in the world, with a broadband connection, will be able to watch and participate in the event.  Government2010 is a co-production between Quadriga Consulting and Switch New Media.  Switch is one of the leading players in live streamed events in the UK.

We’re delighted that YouGov will be our official research partner for the event.  The senior team at YouGov will be supporting us on the day and will be taking part in the panel sessions.  Iain Dale, the top political blogger, is also part of our team.  Our first official media sponsor is Total Politics magazine.  Luke Spikes of Spikes Cavell will also be on our advisory panel. 

Government2010 promises to be one of the most exciting and stimulating events to take place this year.  Its focus will be on how technology is changing the process of government.  We have prepared a short teaser video.  But the best way to keep up to speed on what’s happening is to follow me on Twitter and to keep an eye on the #g2010 hashtag using twitter search.
