Each year, thousands of bloggers, newsmakers, social justice advocates, labor and organizational leaders, grassroots organizers and online activists for four days of thought-provoking panels, practical trainings and fun networking opportunities. Plus, some of the brightest minds in progressive politics go to Netroots Nation to speak with (and hear from) people just like you.
