Humanitarian Technology Festival

Ever wanted to know about, or work on, disaster and humanitarian response technology from a people-first perspective? Join us for Aspiration's second #HumTechFest on June 4th and 5th at the Berkman Center in Cambridge, MA for a participatory and community-driven convening designed for field practitioners, media makers and storytellers, technology developers, information security practitioners, members of affected populations, researchers, and everyone in between. We'll run from 9:30a to 6p both days. Sliding scale is absolutely available -- please reach out if interested.

Agenda and Sessions

The agenda is co-developed with participants, facilitators, and partners in the time leading up and during the event.

We'll strive to build capacity for humanitarian aid and disaster response efforts through technology and community. This is similar but separate to the Humanitarian Technology Conference taking place later that week.

Topic areas likely to be on the agenda include...

• Existing Response Technology Projects
• Situational Awareness
• Responsible Data Lifecycles
• Easier After-Action Reports
• Self-Care for Organizers
• Participant-Led Sessions: More than half of the agenda will be built by participants before and during the event, covering topics, tools, themes and issues proposed by those present.
• Learning by Making: Hands-on workshops for sharing essential technology skills.

More, more more! Tell us what other hands-on tech skills you would like to learn, and we'll try to find facilitators to get you there.

Let us know what should be on the agenda and how we can make this event more relevant and valuable for you!
