Hello everyone,

We’re pleased to announce the schedule for TICTeC Local 2019, mySociety's one-day conference that focuses directly on the use and impacts of Civic Tech in communities and local government. If this sounds good to you, you’d better book now, because spaces are limited.

Join 120 practitioners and researchers from public bodies, universities, civil society and the private sector to discuss how digital tools can help local government and communities to foster citizen engagement, drive efficiencies, and combat social and environmental problems.

TICTeC events are unique in that they emphasise the research behind digital platforms and tools, not just showcasing the tools themselves.

TICTeC Local is more than just a conference once a year: we want it to be a catalyst that helps more local councils and organisations think about and research the impacts of digital tools they are using, and to share this knowledge amongst their peers.

For six years now we have fostered a global network of civic tech researchers and practitioners via our Impacts of Civic Technology Conferences (TICTeC) – TICTeC Local allows us to bring some of that international experience to the local level and emphasise the importance of local digital innovations and researching their impacts.

Thanks to support from London’s Chief Digital Officer, Theo Blackwell, we’re thrilled to be hosting TICTeC Local 2019 at London City Hall, home to the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

We have a set number of free tickets available for public sector attendees. These are limited to a maximum of two tickets per public sector organisation. If you work in the public sector and can commit to attending please choose the ‘Public Sector’ ticket option on Eventbrite.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available if you want to support this important gathering and showcase your work.

We hope to see you there!

All the best,

Gemma.
