We've started rolling out our agenda for Netroots Nation 2009! This year's schedule includes 70 panels and 20 workshop sessions (you can see what's posted so far here, as well as see who's speaking).

Check back frequently, as we're adding new sessions every day.

For the second year, we are partnering with Democracy for America on a scholarship program for Netroots Nation 2009.

This is your chance to show off what you've done to move the progressive agenda forward. And it's our chance to ensure that activists of every age, background and economic bracket, representing numerous points of view and all 50 states are able to attend Netroots Nation and make it the richest experience yet.

In 2008, we began with a modest goal of sending 9 activists to Austin, and by the time the program had completed, 30 were on their way. This year, we're setting the bar higher and starting the program with a goal of sending 30 people to Pittsburgh.

But, we can't do it without your help. We need your support to help fund the program, spread the word, encourage people to apply or apply yourself.

Time magazine calls 2008 "the year of the youth vote." At Netroots Nation, we hope to make every year about successful youth organizing.

Because we aim to continually bring new voices into the progressive movement, for the first time ever, we are offering a special student rate for those enrolled at least half-time at a high school, community college, trade school or university.

For just $50, you can participate in four days of insightful panels, training sessions and networking opportunities at the grassroots event of the year--the annual Netroots Nation convention to be held in Pittsburgh August 13–16.
