What is Political Innovation?
A series of practical events at which people with
ideas on political innovations can meet up with
 technical experts,
 journalists,
 bloggers,
 politicos
and others with an interest in politics and public
affairs to grow and promote innovative projects
Want to do a session on the day?
 Firstly, throw your idea into our forum now to
see if theres any interest?
http://tinyurl.com/3azsop9
 Come along on the day and pitch the idea to
the crowd  see how many people there are
interested
 Attend, introduce, chair, and (ideally) blog
your session afterwards
Sessions: guidance
 If you propose a session  do please turn up to it (but see below)
 If a session does run  can someone record it in some way to share later?
Please link to anything you publish on Twitter using the #picamp hashtag.
 Include everyone (the law of two ears and one mouth).
 If you find yourself in a session, and youre not learning or sharing  just
leave and find somewhere where you can. (the law of two feet, and no-
one will be offended.)
 If theres only two of you in a session and youre learning and sharing 
thats fine. (However many people are in a session is the right number.)
 Try to avoid being a seminar: The best sessions are the ones that spark
ongoing action. Try and leave enough time at the end for summarising
and organising this.
 Please avoid party-political soapboxing: There are few votes to be had
here.
How are sessions scheduled?
The opening session will
allow everyone the
opportunity to give
 a quick personal intro
 propose sessions that
they want to host
The rest is a bit of a
scramble with post-it
notes
