Since 2004, Personal Democracy Media has helped nurture a world-wide conversation about technology’s impact on government and politics, and society with a conference, Personal Democracy Forum (PDF). This year, the conference comes to Italy. PDF Italia, organised in Rome on September 29th, will focus on the impact of data on society and its consequences for all its actors, most of all on citizens.

It will be part of Innovation Week, a week of debates, meetings and forums dedicated to the new frontiers in the digital revolution. The topics range from Open Hardware to Social Innovation and Democracy, from City Makers in the Collaborative Economy to Open Data and Impact Finance.

D-CENT Project Manager Francesca Bria will be participating the Track C: ‘Bricks and mortar’ for civics: a new quest for citizens’ trust with Paola Bonini, Carola Frediani, Sam Lee and Sergio Maistrello.
