San Francisco, California

California's Governor tweets about P2:

"I love public participation so I want to hear your ideas for solving our budget, no matter how radical. Use #myidea4CA. from web " But he's not the only one - last night in San Francisco the IAP2 Northern Californian Chapter hosted a mini-symposium.

A wide cross section of practitioners attended from new graduates to seasoned experts. It was a chance to learn about the macro with a case study from the UK on a national government approach to P2 and the micro with a technical application on empathy in communications. The diversity of information shared included a story from the outback of Australia to the high tech web-based tools being applied in the White House. The breadth and depth of the input was enriching and valued by all participants - demonstrated by the event going over time!

This was a significant networking and professional development opportunity that IAP2 offered its members and colleagues in the field by the Northern California Chapter.

Photos and files from the event will be uploaded in due course.
