At the third annual Personal Democracy Forum, taking place May 15 2006 at the CUNY Graduate Center in NYC, we will be featuring a breakout session on “Txt Messaging and Mobile Politics.” The panel will feature some of the best and brightest minds in the newly blossoming arena of mobile technology and politics. The panel will be a great opportunity to meet some of the industries major players and learn from their failures and success’ in the technology that promises to be the next big thing in political campaigns and activism.

The panel will be moderated by Personal Democracy’s very own Mobile Technology and Politics correspondent Justin Oberman (aka me) and will be featuring mobile all-stars such as Ben Rigby from Mobile Voter (winner of the Wireless Innovation Award - from the Wireless Innovation Network at CTIA 2006), Jed Alpert from Politxt, Dan Weaver from Mobile Accord, Dorrian Porter (CEO of Mozes) and Douglas Busk (the man behind the original SMS "4CARE" and "2HELP" fundraisers for the victims of Katrina and the Tsunami) from Singlepoint (Wireless Services Corp).

Other speakers are in the works. All of them are, by the way, MobileActives!
