<H2 CLASS="site__title site__title_big site__title_white">A TWO DAY CONFERENCE ON THE COLLABORATIVE ECONOMY<BR><BR></H2>
<DIV CLASS="description">
<H3>Imagine a transparent, democratic and decentralised economy which works for everyone. A society in which anyone can become a co-owner of the organisations on which they, their family &amp; their community depend. A world where everyone can participate in all the decisions that affect them.<BR><BR></H3>
<P>This is not a utopian ideal, it is the natural outcome of a networked society made up of platform cooperatives; online organisations owned and managed by their members. By providing a viable alternative to the standard internet business model based on monopoly and extraction, platform cooperatives provide a template for a new type of organisation – forming the building blocks for a new economy.</P>
<P>Open 2017, the first event of its kind in the UK, will explore how collaborative software and cooperative ownership models are being combined to create this new economy.</P>
<P>Bringing together Businesses, NGOs and Civil Society, Open will showcase the latest tools, technologies and projects at the forefront of this growing movement. With presentations from co-operative development experts, legal practitioners and software developers, Open 2017 will focus on the practical steps needed to set up platform coops and accelerate their growth.</P>
