On his first day in office, President Barack Obama committed "to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government." To help meet that goal, the administration has issued an Open Government Directive, a new memorandum on the Freedom of Information Act, and attorney general guidelines, as well as an effort to open up data to developers, advocates, and the public via Data.gov.

Join us for this three-panel event, where our panelists will discuss the administration's open government initiatives and their effect on the public.
