Netroots Nation, a nonprofit organization, focuses on bringing together progressive voices in a way that allows people to exchange ideas and amplify their ideas. The organization places emphasis on the role technology plays in politics, and works with members to show them the best possible ways to utilize technology to gain attention. 

Members and other interested parties come together at Netroots Nation’s annual convention, a trend which began in 2005 as a way to bring together political advocates who were interested in amplifying their voice through technology. The Netroots Nation gathering typically features prominent politicians as key speakers, over 80 panels in which attendees can discuss new ideas in the political sphere, and a variety of training sessions for those who wish to promote themselves or their ideas through technology.
