Welcome to the Revolution!

Nothing is going to change unless we change it.

It sounds simple enough, but it’s a lesson that has forever transformed the world of advocacy, marketing and polict. It’s the lesson that inspired a revolution.

A people-powered movement has emerged, fueled by the Internet and technology, that has given individuals the opportunity to come together and engage in a real dialogue, a platform from which to reject the status quo and to ask for something better.

This movement is about engagement and it’s about empowerment.

Advocacy, marketing and policy have always gone hand in hand – but thanks to the tools we now have and will continue to develop, their speed and influence are limitless.

During my time on the Howard Dean campaign, I was privileged to help drive this revolution forward, as people used the power of the Internet to take the first step to reclaiming a system that had long ago forgotten them.

And we’ve come a long way since then. New technologies are emerging every day that strengthen the people-powered movement, giving individuals the tools they need to make their voices heard.

But there is more work to be done. During this year’s summit, we’ll discuss just that, challenging traditional strategies and inspiring new thinking.

Nothing is going to change unless we change it, right? Let’s get to work.

Sincerely,
Joe Trippi
