Civic Meetup #536: Not A Startup - Organizing For Civic Technology
Ready to join in on the fun?
Topic: Not A Startup - Organizing For Civic Technology
Civic tech projects are not startups. They're unique, more akin to community organizations, and have much to learn from organizing and its principles! Let's build a story and language for how this space develops its projects and people, using recent examples from the civic technology space in Toronto.
This session will be live and interactive for both in-person and online participants via a first-ever live application of the Polis Reaction Canvas!
Speaker: Ilya Kreynin
Ilya is a pro-social engineer and habitual cheerleader who loves Toronto and its people, and specifically loves helping people help Toronto! He's the Growth and Operations Lead at the City of Toronto's Open Data team by day, a member of the Civic Dashboard team by night, and a firm believer in the promise and practice of civic technology to better our city.
Agenda:
7:00-7:20 Welcome and Introductions
7:20-7:50 Presentation and Q&A/discussion
7:50-9:00 Breakout groups

About Us:
Our weekly civic meetups bring together Torontonians (designers, coders, urban planners, government staff, mappers, policy-makers, students, communications strategists, community organizers, and more) who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable, and equitable through design, tech, and data.
Interested in speaking at a future event, or know someone who'd be a great speaker? We'd love to hear from you:
Have a space that could host up to 80 civic-minded folks for an evening? Consider recommending your venue:
