Check with any major news source and you'll hear pundits pontificating about how this presidential election season has attracted more new voters than ever. One aspect that doesn't get enough coverage in the news, though, is the unprecedented influence of social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace and YouTube on youth participation and engagement.

As we head into the general election next month, Americans can rest assured that the next President, no matter who comes out with the upper hand, will be someone who appreciates - to some degree, at least - the use of technology. We have assembled a panel of speakers who all understand this paradigm shift and look forward to sharing it with you as well as hearing your feedback.  Please visit the event web site for more information.
