Here are the details:

• YearlyKos: Building the Progressive Youth Movement -- Friday, August 3 -- 1:00pm-2:15pm. This should be a solid panel. I'll be in over my head sharing the stage with folks like Mike Connery of Future Majority and Jane Fleming Kleeb of Young Voter PAC. So I'll probably be learning more than teaching, but I might at least crack a funny joke or two. We'll see.


• YearlyKos: Local Blogging #3 -- Friday, August 3 -- 4:00pm-5:15pm. Of all the local blogging presentations at this year's yKos, this is definitely one of them. The writeup is a bit misleading as I believe the lineup has shuffled up quite a bit. But I'm hearing that Karl-Thomas, originally a Texas blogger who now is part of the kick-ass team at ActBlue is part of my panel, so it should have some interesting discussion going on.


• NewWest.net Presents: Raising Money and Awareness on the Internet -- Thursday, August 9 -- 3:30pm-6:00pm. I'll be chatting alongside the executive director of DemocracyInAction.org, one of the nation's online activist tool providers, and a couple locals, including the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's online guy, Dave Budge, and Jonathan Weber, founder of New West. My take on this panel? It sounds like we'll be trying to discuss a lot of best practices for online organizing. I think Dave and I will try to keep the snarky liberal v. libertarian comments to a minimum. This one's got a $5 ticket attached to it, but you can probably recoup that in the beer, wine, and light snacks provided afterwards.
