The conference this year takes place at the University of Pittsburgh.

The Second International Conference on e-Government (ICEG) invites researchers and practitioners to share research findings and practical experiences in a friendly, international University environment. This conference builds on the first ICEG held in Ottawa, Canada in 2005 and on the earlier European conferences on e-Government. It will provide an excellent opportunity to learn of new research and developments, to see old friends, and meet new people.

On behalf of the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh and our many colleagues throughout the e-Government community in the United States, I welcome you to the Conference. The University of Pittsburgh was founded in 1787 as the Pittsburgh Academy as a small, private school and was located in a log cabin near Pittsburgh’ three rivers. In the 218 years since, the University has evolved into an internationally recognized center of learning and research. Pittsburgh, frequently ranked as one of America’s Most Liveable Cities, has moved from an industrial past to an enterprising and vibrant present with distinctive neighborhoods, outstanding arts communities, and an abundance of leisure activities. At the convergence of three beautiful rivers, Pittsburgh provides major sports events, diverse cultural activities (including the Andy Warhol Museum), and many parks and recreational areas.

We believe that you will find the conference program informative and our city enjoyable. We can look forward to welcoming you in 2006.
Toni Carbo
