2006 International e-Participation & Local Democracy Symposium

The Public Forum Institute in Baltimore

The Public Forum Institute was a partner for the Symposium and in Baltimore, they took over all the tech tasks for all the presentations.

They also deployed their eForum audience response system which, as described on their website,

“… transforms audience members into fully engaged participants, enabling them to make a valuable contribution throughout the course of our forums. Forum participants are given wireless, handheld units to anonymously respond to questions posed throughout the day by speakers, moderators, panelists, or each other. Results are immediately tabulated and displayed on monitors or screens for all to see – providing instant citizen feedback for policymakers and timely statistics for reporters covering the forum. Keypads help the Forum turn a dry, one-way flow of information into a dynamic back-and-forth between hundreds or even thousands of motivated participants.”

Next week I’ll have audio of the session in which Jonathon moderated using the eForum technology.

  2. Hi Mark, ’twas good to meet you and your colleagues… keep up the good work of fostering public deliberation. And yes, we’ll need some luck on that traffic light… which, in another 9 months or so will be two blocks from our new condo in downtown Northfield.
