Personal Democracy Forum (often referred to as PdF) is a website and annual conference that follows how the internet is changing politics, governance, and advocacy founded by Andrew Rasiej and co-Founder Micah Sifry.[1]
Personal Democracy Forum has over twenty contributing editors who track, report, and reflect on the newest trends of technology in politics. The sister website techPresident followed how the 2008 United States presidential election campaigns utilized these new technologies and how these technologies are enabling citizens to affect the race.
The Personal Democracy Forum conference is an annual event held in New York City that began in 2004. The mission of the conference is to have political professionals, technologists, and non-profit executives educate each other on how technology is changing and what the future of democracy and advocacy looks like.
