#OpenGovTech Launch at Wuthering Bytes

4 September 2019

13:00 - 16:30

Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge

Whatever your experience or understanding of 'GovTech,' there is no denying that it can have profound effects on the lives of citizens. From small changes to the way that teams are managed to the deployment of digital services, GovTech is increasingly a platform for public sector organisations to become more innovative.

At Wuthering Bytes, ODI Leeds will be launching #OpenGovTech - an extension of GovTech where tools and resources are developed in the open, shared, re-used, and ultimately made better by the input and experience of everyone. Our aim is to share what has already been created - we've made a great start with some tools like the CSV Cleaner and CSV-to-GeoJSON Converter - and work together to help define #OpenGovTech so that it can benefit everyone, and create the kind of environment needed so that open innovation can thrive.

We invite you to ask:

- what should #OpenGovTech be?
- who should be involved?
- how should we do this?

Join us on 4 September, as part of Wuthering Bytes, for a proactive afternoon session of discussion and activity around #OpenGovTech.
