Recasting the Net Round Two: Recasting Power

4ip logo 6.00pm for a 6.30 start Location: Austin Court, 80 Cambridge Street, Birmingham, B1 2NP Date: 17 Sep, 2009

Blogging, You Tube, Facebook and Twitter are all having a huge impact on modern politics - but how well are our democratic institutions responding? Are online tools more effective than traditional methods of holding power to account? Join us on Thursday 17th September as we explore the social and political implications of a public newly empowered with 21st century tools. Recasting the Net: Recasting Power is the second of three live and online public series curated by Polis and Channel 4 4ip's Team, designed to explore and discuss the next phase of the web.

Speakers include the Rt Hon Tony Benn, Charlie Elphicke, Conservative Prospect MP for Dover, Cllr Paul Tilsey, Charlie Beckett, Director of Polis and members of Birmingham's political and digital community to discuss how online tools are transforming politics.

To attend this event please RSVP to: recasting@channel4.co.uk
