Where a plug and a solid wifi connection never seem exist in the same space. Nonetheless, the PdF Europe Conference has been a vibrant carnival of discussion, quickly moving to its wrap-up in about an hour in the ground floor theater of the Torre Agbar. From the panels I've attended and the hallways discussions I've engaged in, two particular ideas have really caught my attention and provoked me to question my assumptions. The first is whether the Obama model, should it exist, is replicable in other countries and other lands, or whether its utility stops at the border of serving as an inspiration. In other words, is the recent American experience so unique to be an exception? The other is whether 'European conversation' exists that technology might amplify, and if not, whether digital communications spur useful cross-country engagement in Europe. And if it can, how widespread is the interest in having that conversation?

But that's just one woman's perspective on a multi-layered conference. Luckily for you, we've hooked up with a tremendous partner who is providing an eye and ear on the conference that is almost as good as being here, minus the tiny ham sandwiches they served for breakfast this morning. Civico is capturing and compiling what's going down at PdF Europe in a medium sure to suit just about everyone. There's slide presentations, there's audio, there's tweet analysis, and more.
