The main objective of eGOVsharE2009 is to provide a platform for leaders, public managers and professionals, researchers as well as academics from all over the world to share their ideas and research results. However, the conference will try to explore collaboration potentials through the exchange of practical experiences in eGovernment project implementations within the region as well.

The conference will cover eGovernment applications and a showcase of best practices from Turkey and other countries in the region in addition to presentations, panels, paper discussions and working groups. Delegates are expected to contribute to the outcomes of the conference through a high level of interaction and exchange of new ideas and practical experiences, which will eventually lead to a permanent network of regional eGovernment leaders.

Main topics to be discussed in the conference are:

• Challenges to eGovernment
• Knowledge Management
• Legal, Security and Trust Issues in eGovernment
• Measuring eGovernment
• eParticipation
• mGovernment

Deadline for abstract submission is 25 July 2009. Further information on the programme of the event is provided here.
