The first popular European e-government conference takes place in Malmö, Sweden 19-20 November 2009. It coincides with the 5th official EU e-gov event in the same city. The popular Malmo09 event aims to offer a memorable creative statement of what Europeans really want from e-enabled government.

Anyone interested is welcome to apply to speak, participate contribute ideas or help in any other way. It is particularly aimed at European digital-rights organisations, consumer advocates, and those with a political, academic, artistic or design interest in e-government. No presentation will last longer than eight minutes. Music, pictures and video content is welcome. The event will close with awards for the “pertinent art” which best expresses popular feeling about e-government, and for the best independently coded or mashed-up projects based on public data or public services.

What else is happening in Malmo:

Ministerial Meeting 18 November

EU Ministers meet on the eve of the conference, 18 November 2009, to finalise a Ministerial Declaration on eGovernment to 2015. That will be presented jointly by the Swedish Presidency and the European Commission on the first day of the Conference.

Official Conference 19-20 November

The official by-invitation-only conference promises high-level speakers, 1000 delegates including officials, business and academia. The organisers of the Malmo09 event weren’t invited to and form no part of the official proceedings, but hope to offer a constructive and complementary set of insights and ideas in partnership with the official event.
