Web Politicking 101

March 15, 2007 | 9:28 AM

The next great innovation in Internet politics may be born this week, or at least that's the hope of a slew of online politics professionals converging at George Washington University over the next two days. They turn to the annual Politics Online conference to show them how to take advantage of the Web in new and wonderful ways.

The event, hosted by the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet, regularly attracts more than 400 attendees from around the globe who come to hear from leading figures in the media, politics and the Internet industry.

This year's keynoter is Elliot Schrage, vice president for global communications at Google. Other speakers include WashingtonPost.com Executive Editor Jim Brady; BuzzMachine blogger Jeff Jarvis; Patrick Ruffini, new media strategist for Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Guliani; and Joe Trippi, who managed former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's Web-savvy bid for the White House.

Technology Daily will have coverage of the conference, so stay tuned.
