The Judaism 3.0 Herzl Day event has been getting international press coverage, including in Germany and United States:
Theodor Herzl: The solution to Israel’s modern problems?
A birthday party for a visionary (IsraelNetz – translated from German)
Similarly, the idea to apply Herzl’s thinking to today’s strategic issues is getting traction. For more on that, see:

About Judaism 3.0: In this landmark book, Gol Kalev demonstrates how Zionism has turned into the organizing principle of Judaism. Analyzing long-term shifts in Israel, Diaspora Judaism as well as global trends that impact the state of Judaism, Kalev shows how Zionism has become the primary conduit through which both Jews and non-Jews relate to Judaism – in the positive and negative alike.
