Event - Tuesday, Best of CfA Summit

[Noel Hidalgo]

Two weeks ago, CyclePhilly won an Government Innovation award at the Code for America Summit. If you're into how technology, data, and design can be used to improve our civic environment, join us this Tuesday!

BetaTalk - Best of Code for America Summit (#CfASummit) 2015

About the Event:

The Code for America Summit (#CfASummit) is an annual celebration of smart government and civic technology. The #CfASummit is a roll-up-your-sleeves conference that brings together innovators from hundreds of governments across the U.S. along with civic-minded technologists, designers, community organizers, and entrepreneurs. 

For this BetaTalk, we have invited NYC’s #CfASummit attendees to share their insights, highlights, and reinforce the local connections made on the other coast. You will get the "Best of CfASummit" even if you could not make the trip. 

For this night, eight to ten Code for America Summit speakers and attendees will recap their personal highlights and reconnect the discussions to the work our community's doing locally. 

If you attended CfA Summit and we haven't already reached out to you, let us know!

BetaNYC is a civic organization dedicated to improving lives in New York through civic design, technology, and data.

Our work empowers individuals and local communities to build a civically‐engaged technology ecosystem and provide for an honest and inclusive government. We want New York’s governments to work for the people, by the people, for the 21st century.
