Socialtext to Host Government 2.0 Event in Australia

During the past year, more government organizations have harnessed social software to make it easier for employees to share knowledge, expertise and ideas across organizational silos. In doing so, government organizations can improve the flexibility of their business processes, cultivate new ideas, and serve constituents more efficiently. In September, Socialtext was added to the GSA schedule, and we featured some of our government customers, including the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) .

But this “Government 2.0″ phenomenon hasn’t been just limited to the United States. In Australia, for example, we’ve been seeing a lot of traction for social software inside government agencies. On December 2, in Melbourne, we’ll be hosting a special event for government agencies in Australia looking to understand the benefits of social software. The event will feature a Socialtext customer, The Department of the Premier and Cabinet in South Australia, who will share their experiences using social software with peers in attendance. Their talk will be followed by a discussion and networking period.

We want to create an intimate setting for this event, where attendees can have candid discussions about their current or future use of social software. So please register as soon as you can as space will be limited.
