Thanks for being a part of the 2014 #CfASummit!

 

Videos of this year's #CfASummit sessions are now online!

This year's event took place during Rosh Hashanah. We recognize and apologize for the conflict this caused for members of our community. Videos of streamed content are now available.

  • Government

    A growing community of gov geeks around the country is changing City Hall from the inside out. Participants include department directors, Mayors, City Councilmembers, Chief Innovation Officers, CTOs, policy directors, budget analysts, HR managers, procurement officers, City Attorneys, City Managers, communications managers, planners, and more — from cities and counties of all sizes.

  • Community

    The civic tech movement is driven by community members committed to using their voices and hands, in collaboration with local governments, to make their cities better. Civic-minded technologists at the Summit range from developers and designers to researchers, community organizers, and data scientists — along with foundations, funders, and partner organizations who enable this work.

  • Companies

    A civic tech ecosystem is emerging where competition spurs innovation, governments get value for investment, and most importantly, resident needs are more effectively met. Startup entrepreneurs and tech companies who provide tools to support the work of public service attend the Summit to participate in meaningful dialogue and take their understanding of civic tech to the next level.

Be where civic innovators gather.

The Code for America Summit is a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of event that convenes innovators from dozens of local governments and mixes it up with civic-minded technologists, designers, community organizers, and entrepreneurs.

“Of all the conferences and or training I do, I learn more valuable applicable information in the three days of this conference than all the others combined and sets the tone and mindset for a whole year of getting stuff done.”

Dave Michelson, GIS Analyst, City of Asheville
