Joe Trippi

Keynote Speaker





Overview

The internet has rapidly transformed the media landscape, and has become a mainstream tool for political communicators. Young voters are spending more and more time on social networking platforms, such as Facebook and YouTube, and are getting their news from many sources including web video, blogs, podcasts, websites, television, radio, and print. The George Washington University, Opportunity 08, a project of the Brookings Institution in partnership with ABC News, PR Newswire, I'm 18 in 08, and Business Development Institute have partnered to produce a half-day event that will bring together the best and brightest minds to showcase and explore successes and failures and discuss how political and policy communicators can make sense of an increasingly fragmented media landscape and connect with young voters. We will also present the world premiere of David Burstein's, "I'm 18 in 08", a documentary film whose goal is promote and encourage more youth to vote and get involved in the political process
