OpenGov: It's Better Together

This is not your average event. 

It is specifically designed to educate and connect the participants by using a structured format that enables them to actively engage with the speakers and with one another. This format grew out of Silicon Valley and similar formats have been closely associated with open government and innovation in the United States.
