Why the Inside P2 podcast
Welcome to Inside P2, the podcast for public participation
practitioners hosted by me, Joseph Thornley. Each week I hope to
talk to you about best practices, case studies, and research in
effective public participation. Sometimes I'll be on my own.
Sometimes, I'll have guest hosts. And sometimes, I'll post
interviews. The format of the show will include both a
discussion of a principal topic or interview along with one or
more brief
#IP2Noted items, quick hits on things P2 that I've noticed
around the web. I'm also hoping to be joined from time to time by
guest hosts who have a unique perspective on on P2. So, if you have
some insight or experience that you'd like to share and are
willing to illustrate it with case studies or original
research, I'd love to feature you either as a guest host or as an
interviewee. If you're interested, please email me at
insidep2podcast@gmail.com or tweet to
@insidep2podcast.
#IP2Noted
Finally, this week's #IP2Noted segment covers:
The
IAP2 North American
Conference is being held September 28-30 in Montreal. I
attended this conference in Portland last year - and found it to be
the best conference of the year. It's smallish - 250 people - with
two full days of speakers with practical experience. I learned a
lot last year and I'm looking forward to attending again this year.
The early registration fee is in effect now. Check out the
conference Website. If you are a public participation practitioner
looking for an opportunity to meet other practitioners and learn
from them, this conference may be what you are looking for.
The Mandarin has launched All Things P, an online hub dedicated to
news and insight about public engagement in Australia. The
Australians have been at the P2 game for some time. In
announcing the launch of All Things P, Mandarin Publisher Tom
Burton writes:
All Things P recognises
the need agencies have to rapidly develop their engagement and
campaign management skills. We
are bringing together some of Australia’s best practitioners in the
fields of communications, user and interface design, engagement,
clear communications, marketing, campaign design, analytics, brand
management, stakeholder management and modern public affairs
management. Their
insights, from the practical to the strategic, will help build a
strong community of practice around public sector
engagement.
Australia has been a P2 hotspot. So, this site should be useful to
anyone interested in P2.
