MuniGov2.0 is very happy to announce the success of MuniGovCon'09 - a virtual conference  held April 10, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM PST.  As far as we know, this is the very first conference of its kind - a virtual conference developed by government volunteers for those in government who are interested in learning more about how Web 2.0 is transforming the technology and culture of our organizations.
