As the keen followers of this blog will know, we like to organise (and attend) the odd event or two here at FutureGov. From FutureGov Network meet ups, to Gov2Gov events, to online film premieres, to lending a hand at bigger events like Gov20 Camp, Reboot Britain and Social Innovation Camp, we love getting out and about listening, learning and sharing. At all of these events and more besides, there has been a rapid growth in real time reporting on the goings on during the sessions due in no small part to the explosive adoption of tools like Twitter.

I’ve come across a bunch of fantastic videos over the course of this US election campaign, but realise just by favouriting them on my YouTube channel I’m not necessarily sharing them.

Even I have been impressed by my colleages at Barnet Council recently and the extent to which they have embraced an open and transparent approach to government, throwing open the doors to previously unseen internal meetings.
