Breaking down the walls of the convention
Friday, April 13, 2012
The first Republican National Convention was held in 1856 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the only way to participate was to travel hundreds of miles by train, horse, or foot. We have come a long way since then. Technology has changed the political process from one that voters watch from afar, to one that people can participate in, engage with, and shape in a democratic way right from home.
The 2012 Republican presidential nominating convention in Tampa will be a convention without walls. Google and YouTube viewers will get an exclusive backstage pass to connect with Republican leaders off the podium via Google+ Hangouts, bringing convention conversations directly to voters. We will also be livestreaming key events right into their living rooms.
We are excited to partner with the
2012 Republican National Convention
and serve as the official social platform and livestream provider. Be sure to tune in!
