Your LinkedIn Town Hall: Participate, Learn, Watch

On Monday, President Obama is coming to Silicon Valley to meet with LinkedIn members and employees in a town hall about jobs and the economy. And because this event is designed for you, our members, we wanted to share three things you can do around the event:

1. You can participate.

We’re currently calling for questions on the Putting America Back to Work group on LinkedIn.

Simply visit the group and start a discussion or add a comment to an existing thread. We’re watching the topics closely and will select questions to ask the President during the town hall. We’re selecting questions that are representative of the collective interests of millions of professionals on LinkedIn.

We’re also inviting a handful of members to Mountain View to ask the President himself. But hurry up and join the conversation; questions must be submitted prior to 11:59p PT tomorrow to be considered.

2. You can learn.

Earlier this summer we introduced you to Dan Roth, who has joined LinkedIn as our Executive Editor. Dan and the LinkedIn Today team have built a special edition of LinkedIn Today. It’s a single source for the best content explaining where the economy is, how it got here, and -- most importantly -- how to get it moving.

Our editors will curate the content frequently to keep it fresh and relevant. Visit today to read articles, share them with connections, take a poll, and more.

And on Monday...

3. ...you can watch live.

The town hall will take place at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern on Monday, Sep 26, and we'll be streaming the event live from our LinkedIn Today special edition page.

So take a moment to block an hour on your calendar Monday. You won’t want to miss questions for the President about job creation and the economy. All selected from LinkedIn members just like you.
