2018 Code for America Summit

Birds of a Feather sessions bring people struggling with similar issues together to network, learn from each other and overcome isolation. Each session will focus on a different topic but all sessions will be facilitated networking where participants talk with others and share their perspective; and an opportunity for small group discussions. Birds of a Feather sessions are either “Group Therapy” focused on common challenges or “So you’re working on” focused on common elements of work.

So You’re Working on: Innovating in a Smaller Locale

FACILITATOR: Emma Burnett, Brigade Captain Code for Maine; 2018 National Advisory Council

DESCRIPTION: 
Smaller locales have smaller budgets and tiny teams. So much work comes out of big cities that it is easy to forget that small locales are redesigning their digital services too. This session goes out to the small places and considers how to make real change without the support of a big city or state.
