The inspiration for Netroots UK, US activists’ mega-conference Netroots Nation is currently running in Providence, Rhode Island until 10 June. It’s a rather grander affair than Netroots UK, with thousands in attendance over four days of workshops, keynotes and debates.

A lot of the sessions echo what we’ll be talking about at the end of the month, and are worth checking out if you get a moment around the 5 hour timezone delay (their morning sessions kick off early afternoon, UK time). There are 4 live streams running from some of their largest session rooms, so there’s a lot to choose from.

You can follow the event from across the pond via the site NetrootsNation.org

We’re going to have colleagues from Netroots Nation joining us for Netroots UK on 30 June, as well as presentations from scores of homegrown activists, campaigners and commentators. Make sure you book your ticket for the London event now.
