Transparency Camp 2012
April 28 - 29
Washington, DC
Coming Soon!
The year 2012 is bursting with major questions about government transparency, openness, and accountability -- and we’re gearing up to make our fifth TransparencyCamp a platform for you to get (or at least get close to) answers. Check back soon for more information about this event and how to register!
Transparency Camp is an “unconference” for opengov: an event where, each year, journalists, developers, technologists, policy-makers, government officials, students, academics, wonks, and everyone in between gather to share their knowledge about how to use new technologies and policies to make our government really work for the people -- and to help our people work smarter with our government.
As an "unconference," Transparency Camp emphasizes the important contributions that each and every attendee brings with them into the sessions, workshops, and conversations associated with this event. In fact, attendees (yes, all of them) are brought into the process of making the schedule for the conference with the organizers and are encouraged to step up and lead sessions themselves. (Check out our 2011 Recap video below to get a better sense of what we mean.)
We've seen a lot of productive, amazing results from TCamp in years past: US-based TCamp attendees have started unique, globally recognized initiatives, including CityCamp and CrisisCommons, and our international guests have gone on to organize TCamps in their own countries.
Check back soon for more information about attending this event. In the meanwhile, wrap your head around this event (and get a dose of TCamp history) with these videos:
