Video: Let’s Get Started
Welcome to the Conversation
The inaugural AMP Summit is finally here and we can’t wait to get started. Tonight’s Welcome Networking Expo from 5 – 7 PM will officially kick off the summit, and will give attendees the chance to meet each other and begin an important conversation — one that will continue long after the summit and inspire other important conversations.
The people-powered movement, fueled by the Internet and technology, is changing the worlds of activism, media and politics. Everyday, new technologies are emerging that strengthen this people-powered movement by giving individuals the tools they need to make their voices heard. But, as Joe Trippi said in his first AMP blog post, there is more work to be done. During this year’s inaugural summit, we’ll discuss just that, challenging traditional strategies and inspiring new thinking.
If you’re going to be there, we look forward to connecting with you, seeing your pictures and reading about your experience at the inaugural AMP Summit. Follow us on Twitter (@AMPSummit), include the hash tag #amp10 in your tweets, and post on our Facebook wall.
Let’s get started.
