On Saturday, June 1, New York City will hold its first CityCamp and NYC BigApps Demo Night! This is one day to celebrate and explore NYC’s civic technology community — hack, polish, and learn!
As part of National Day of Civic Hacking and NYC BigApps, New Yorkers will have a unique opportunity to dive into NYC BigApps projects and hear from the City’s civic technology leaders. NYC BigApps participants will have a unique opportunity to receive advice from NYC top subject matter experts. Since CityCamp is an unconference, participants will determine some of the sessions and help with facilitation.
CityCamp:
From 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., will we unconference, hack, beta test civic apps, and learn from each other. If you are working on a BigApp, this is your chance to get intimate feedback from subject matter experts and members of the public. If you are a member of the public, this your chance to see NYC BigApps teams working on their apps, to hear from thought leaders, and learn from each other.
