Wondering what prior attendees are saying about Personal Democracy Forum?
The gathering may have been the highest concentration of amazingly creative and concerned global citizens I have ever been around. There were lots of people saying, 'So I did this, this, and this, and now I’m working on doing this, this, and this and we should collaborate ...' They were all continually trying to use the new technologies to serve human purposes. In other words, it was my kind of crowd.
-Michael Wesch, Author and PdF '09 keynoter
