Global Voices Delhi Summit: December 2006

-2006/

Please join us for the Global Voices 2006 Summit, December 16th in New  
Delhi, India!

WHAT: Global Voices Online is an award-winning online portal and guide  
to international blogs beyond North America and Western Europe. It has  
also become the hub of a growing community of international bloggers  
who want to build a better global conversation.

The Global Voices Summit, on December 16th, will be our annual  
opportunity to take stock, come together and explore our central  
question: How can we use the Internet to build a more democratic,  
participatory global discourse? How can we create a more inclusive  
conversation about what is happening on our planet, and how human  
beings in different parts of the world are impacting each other in  
countless ways we don’t realize every day?

This year we also hope to address two further questions:

- How do we bring more unheard, ignored, or disadvantaged voices into  
the global online conversation?
- How do we help people speak and be heard - even when powerful people  
try to stop them from doing so?

WHO: Global Voices editors, contributors, community members, interested  
bloggers and journalists. Basically, anybody who is interested in what  
it means for media, geopolitics, and global society when the whole  
world starts talking online. Click here to see who is already committed  
to attend.

WHEN: 9am-5:30pm IST, Saturday December 16th, 2006
  (A smaller private planning meeting will be held for GV editors and  
authors only on Sunday the 17th.)

HOW: If you’d like to join us, please add your name to the sign-up wiki  
here.

WHERE: At the Indian Habitat Centre (Please note that space is very  
limited, so you’ll want to sign up well in advance if you wish to  
attend - first come, first served.)

  ONLINE: If you can’t make it in person, please join us online via  
webcast and live chat. We will be posting more information on this page  
about how to do so as the time approaches
