Description

On Tuesday, August 5 and Wednesday, August 6th, Bill Bushey, Laura Andersen, and Steven Clift with E-Democracy/Open Twin Cities will be in Chicago to visit with interesting civic tech, open gov, digital inclusion, and related projects. (Contact us to invite us to visit your project.)

As part of this adventure, with the help from Derek Eder at DataMade and Chris Whitacker the midwest Code for America organizer/a consultant to the Smart Chicago Collaborative/etc., we will be based out of 1871 much of the time and attending the Chicago Open Gov Hacknight on August 5th as well.

We've also organized two open events at 1871 where we can mix it up.

RSVP for one or both gatherings and in-between be social with everyone gathered.
