I work for a non-profit organization that promotes citizen involvement in public issues. We are doing a big event in Washington DC in a couple of months.<p>I was wondering if I could get some advice from fellow hackers about technology to use during this event such webcasting, getting people to participate online (your personal experience would be even better).<p>Our main goal is to get a lot of people (young and old) excited about this event. What I am looking for is technology ideas that can be used via website and social media outlets to promote/generate interest.<p>Thanks.
set up a twitter account and encourage people to follow it with mobile updates during the event.<p>Use it to announce interesting things people might want to know while they're at the event.<p>Example: "Don't forget to check out the Green-Energy Table in the Lobby"
