Join us for “lessons from the front lines,” co-presented by AidData and DataKind. This event is part of NYC’s 2020 Open Data Week, a week-long festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the NYC Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics’ Open Data program and BetaNYC

How do you build initiatives to help prevent childhood trauma or create a tool that allows public school teachers to learn from each other? Creating change within large, complex healthcare and education organizations is challenging. Human-centered design and systems design conquer complexity, addressing the biggest issues of our time by tapping human creativity. Join ID adjunct faculty, alumni, and other local Denver design leaders for a conversation about the social impact of design, the challenges this work presents, and the difference it makes.

Women Impact Tech (WIT) is an event series that aligns hundreds of top women engineers with companies who are committed to inclusion and innovation. Centered as a celebration of women in tech, attendees will have a chance to network with companies and other female engineers working on cutting edge technology. Through panels, keynotes and presentations, companies and attendees alike will engage in meaningful and actionable conversation surrounding the past and future impact of women in tech.

The Service Design Studio in the Mayor's Office for Economic Opportunity helps further the City’s use of human-centered design methods. Our approach begins by trying to understand the needs of people who use and oversee public services, and designing the service to meet those needs. With that knowledge, our team works with City agency partners to shape services that are effective, user-friendly, sustainable, and scalable. A design fellowship with our team is an opportunity to grow expertise in creating public services to help improve the lives of millions of New Yorkers. In this webinar, our current Fellows will be discussing the Studio's work, what we look for in candidates, and the application timeline. If time permits, there will be a Q&A at the end.

NYC School of Data is BetaNYC’s annual community-driven conference. With programming support from NYC Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, we bring together city officials, activists, and community members to talk about open data, civic technology, and service design. This year, we are closing out NYC Open Data Week with a bang. From over 90 community suggested sessions, we are organizing 18 thought provoking panels, 35 workshops, 7 office hours with NYC agencies, and 10 demo/usability sessions to cover a wide variety of topics - digital and data literacy, privacy, smart cities, open government, service design, civic engagement, and open data. Join us and celebrate the birthday of New York City’s Open Data Law.

Have you ever considered a tour of public service? Now, more than ever, we’re seeing growing numbers of technologists bringing best practices from the tech industry to government agencies, non-profit organizations, and public benefit companies. The civic tech community is about doing the greatest good, for the greatest number of people, in the greatest need. Their work positively impacts the lives of millions, including Veterans, immigrants, students, small business owners, Medicare beneficiaries, and many more. Join moderator Cat Zakrzewski of The Washington Post for a conversation with Matt Cutts, Natalie Evans Harris, Sha Hwang, and Jen Pahlka about their experience serving in civic tech and the ethical choices they face. They'll share stories from the front lines, and talk about the challenges and opportunities of transforming how people experience government.

Tech for good, and tech for everyone. As it should be. From neighborhoods to countries, the two biggest levers for improving people’s lives at scale are technology and government. Whether it’s changing lives by automatically clearing hundreds of thousands of criminal records or designing the forms for signing up for food stamps, the people at our summit put them together.

It’s almost one of our favorite events of the year, the Code for America Summit! This year, for the first time, Summit is coming to Washington, D.C.—Coding it Forward’s home. To celebrate, we’re gathering mission-driven, young technologists for a post-Summit happy hour on Friday, March 13th at 6:30 p.m. We’ll provide light snacks, drinks, and an evening of connecting with new friends (no forced networking here!)

Diverse tech nonprofit entrepreneurs around the globe build tech to solve social issues ranging from education, to healthcare, to human rights. AGG convenes all players in the tech nonprofit ecosystem to spark meaningful conversations both on stage and off, with a laser focus on how we can apply the best technology to our biggest social problems. Expect inspiration from tech nonprofit founders and tech philanthropy leaders who will push you to consider how technology, new funding models, and human capital are fueling a next generation social sector.

Join the Marconi Society's Vint Cerf and Samantha Schartman-Cycyk, along with Clayton Banks of Silicon Harlem and special guests, as we convene a unique group of business leaders, researchers and digital inclusion practitioners for a lively discussion about forging new frontiers and innovations in digital inclusion to help the next billion enjoy the opportunities of connectivity.

On March 25th, a panel of seasoned social impact professionals from some of the most recognizable companies on the planet will cover what it takes to break into social impact.

Technology has the power to improve the relationship between people and government -- and women are leading the charge when it comes to increasing citizen engagement using tech. From removing the barrier for participation in government to changing the way we’re informed about politics to eliminating perceived biases, hear from a variety of women social entrepreneurs who are behind innovative mobile solutions to make civic participation available to all. Our hope is that this discussion will result in a productive dialogue that will promote the use of tools to advance democracy.

Calling all developers, designers, researchers, journalists, political junkies and more. On Thursday, April 23, The Texas Tribune, Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and Hacks/Hackers will host a hackathon centered on building tools to inform and educate voters. The theme is intentionally broad: Participants are encouraged to work on anything aimed at fostering engagement in an election year.

A casual and fun networking opportunity for professionals interested in social impact careers with nonprofits, government, or socially responsible businesses. Whether you're currently employed, looking to grow your team, or searching for new opportunities, come out to meet new people, build your network, and learn more about social sector work happening in Seattle.

Good Tech Fest is a conference about technology but what brings us all together is our passion for creating change. It’s a place for the data nerds, technologists, leaders, doers, and analysts; people who are passionate about social change and are using technology to achieve it. It is a celebration of the ways data, technology, and design can come together to solve social problems.

Capsule 2020 is a once in a lifetime experience where we are trying to break a Guinness World Record. We are trying to stage the world's largest civic hackathon focused on the climate crisis.
