July 17-20: Netroots Nation Conference; Austin, TX

The face of progressive politics is changing. Thanks in large part to growing online communities, activism, organization, and communication are in the hands of the American people more than ever before. From electing candidates to fact-checking the traditional media and everything in between, people-powered politics will only become more influential as our Netroots community continues to diversify and grow.

The third annual gathering of the Netroots (formerly known as the YearlyKos Convention) will be held July 17–20 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas.

Netroots Nation 2008 will feature:

- Panels led by national and international experts
- Identity, issue and regional caucuses
- Prominent political, issue and policy-oriented speakers
- A progressive screening series
- The most concentrated gathering of progressive bloggers to date
- And so much more.

Registration for Netroots Nation 2008 is currently available at a rate of $375, discounted for a limited time from the full convention rate of $450.

Speaker Pelosi will be attending Netroots Nation, will you?
