Netroots Nation is holding their annual meeting next week, August 17th through the 20th, in Austin, TX.
It appears this will be a busy, busy conference. There are approximately 120 items on the agenda, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi taking questions Saturday morning. "Harold Ford Jr. and Markos Moulitsas will participate in a Friday keynote discussion on party infrastructure." There will be a 26,000 sq ft exhibition hall with lots of vendors, such as ActBLue, AlterNet, American Rights at Work, Bullitics.com, Change Congress, and the Chicago Theological Seminary.
It'll be a hot time in Austin, in more ways than one.
