With more and more elected officials using text messaging to speak directly to voters and an increasing challenge for pollsters to reach the growing community of voters who have cut the cord, this Mobile Future forum will explore the significant role that mobile technologies play in the 2008 election.

One of the leading pollsters in the U.S., Peter Hart, Chairman of Peter D. Hart Research Associates, will give an update on the 2008 landscape and discuss how analysts collecting data for the 2008 elections are factoring in consumers who rely solely on their wireless phones.

The forum also includes a panel discussion moderated by Mobile Future Chairman Jonathan Spalter with representatives from some of the leading organizations and companies using these technologies today.

Panelists include:

Jed Alpert, CEO of Mobile Commons

Michelle Mayorga, Rock the Vote, Mobile Programs

Casey O’Shea, DCCC National Field Director

Katie Harbath, Former Deputy eCampaign Director, Giuliani for President
