ABOUT OPEN GOV HUB

Open Gov Hub is a dedicated co-working and event space, providing resources for

organizations doing work in the open governance and transparency sector. The Hub brings

together professionals—supporting more than 80 member organizations—to not only share resources but to encourage and facilitate collaboration on mutual goals and interests.

Launched in 2012 and inspired by the global momentum for open government, Open Gov Hub began as a bold experiment in co-location and collaboration. What started as a shared vision among researchers, technologists, journalists, and advocates has grown into a 20,000 sq ft community space in downtown D.C., home to a world-changing network of members. Today,

Open Gov Hub fosters a vibrant, values-driven environment—both physical and virtual—where members connect through curated events, peer exchanges, and shared platforms. The Hub curates over 150 events per year, and we estimate that our member organizations save about $14k every year through the Hub’s benefits. With a deep commitment to adaptability, member service, and impact, the Hub continues to prove that we can accomplish more together than alone. Learn more at opengovhub.org.
