#fdem10 Welcome to the UK's leading annual conference on all aspects of e-democracy, from e-campaigning, e-petitions and e-voting to the use of the internet and new technologies in the policy cycle; democratic activity and engagement. Last year’s event - our seventh – took place on 2 December 2010.

Our usual strong line-up of speakers last year included MPs, analysts, academics, practitioners and citizen representatives: see the programme page for full details of who was there.

Short video highlights of last year’s event courtesy of media partner Catch21 Television can be viewed online: http://www.catch21.co.uk/2010/12/future-democracy-conference-2010
with a variety of full textual reports also available on the website of our publication, E-Government Bulletin. Just search for 'Future Democracy' at E-Government Bulletin Live.

And here is a link to a piece based on Mary Reid's talk to conference, 'Do social networking sites support democracy and the open society?'
