There’s no better conference on the intersection of technology and politics than the annual Personal Democracy Forum. This year looks to be the best yet as the conference expands to two days, and I’m psyched to see these leaders in politics and technology:

• Clay Shirky, author of the excellent book “Here Comes Everybody” and thought leader on social technology
• Vint Cert, the father of the Internet and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google
• Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist
• Larry Lessig, free culture champion and Change Congress founder
• Bloggers like Robert Scoble and Michael Arrington on the tech side, with Arianna Huffington, Ana Marie “Wonkette” Cox, Josh Marshall, Jane Hamsher, and Matt Stoller on the political side
• Current and former staffers and figures from 2008 presidential campaigns: Elizabeth Edwards, Joe Trippi (Edwards), Joe Rospars (Obama), Scott Goodstein (Obama), and many more

So plan on getting to NYC on June 23-24 and join me there. The early registration rate of $595 has been extended through June 4.
