Live coverage of Netroots Nation 2010 this week from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada

Just a quick programming alert for readers: Beginning tomorrow afternoon, NPI staff will be arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada to participate in the fifth annual Netroots Nation Convention. The Convention officially begins Thursday morning, which is also when our live coverage will kick off.

We'll each be reporting on the different sessions we go to, and of course, we'll be liveblogging the keynotes as a team.

The convention promises to be a great event. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will be showing up to take our questions. Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer will open the convention, and Minnesota Senator Al Franken will close it. Besides those keynotes, there will be dozens of panels, workshops, trainings, and caucuses. There are also several evening after-parties.

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Elizabeth Warren will be joining us for panels, as will Senators Jeff Merkley, Tom Udall, and Ben Cardin.

House progressives will be ably represented by Alan Grayson, Raul Grijalva, Jared Polis, Donna Edwards, and Jerry Nadler.

Readers who have questions about the convention that they'd like us to answer can leave a comment on any convention blog post, or ask on Twitter by directing a tweet to @nwprogressive.
