We'll have training sessions about how to lobby your MP and more volunteer workshops. There'll also be discussions on the state of UK politics after #GE2010 and why this is a key moment to push harder for reform on digital issues from surveillance to copyright to DRM.

ONA UK invites you to an evening exploring the upcoming UK general election with three delectable guests: Terence Eden, Anthony Painter and Marcus Warren.

It's been said that were it not for the internet, Barack Obama would not be President. Will the same be said of the next UK Prime Minister? With the general election fast approaching and political parties fighting for attention, NESTA asks: Will digital win the election?

So will the 2010 election be the first British new media campaign? And what will the new role of new media mean for television, radio and the press. To discuss these fascinating and knotty issues, we have assembled an expert and entertaining panel under the sharp eye of Evan Davis.

A panel discussion that will examine the impact that social media will have on the election in 2010. How will the broadcasters and newspapers use the web in this election?

In January, Bootlaw will be starting the New Year with something different. Most opinion polls anticipate that 2010 will bring a change of government to the UK. We have secured the appearance of Ed Vaizey MP, Conservative shadow arts minister and spokesman on digital media issues.

The event will be a mixture of themed talks around the future of news and politics with plenty of opportunities to discuss and develop ideas – and as always we encourage you to document this as much as possible in whatever way works for you - audio, video, photos, tweets, live blogs...
