Topic: How can tech bring us together? A FWD50 Debrief
FWD50 is an annual gathering of the world’s leading public sector innovators. In this debrief, three Civic Tech Toronto co-organizers will share highlights and insights from this year’s conference.
FWD50 is an annual event, and this year they asked a question that is familiar to Civic Tech Toronto—‘How do we use technology to bring us together?’
Please bring your thoughts & reflections on what this question means to you (in your life, in your practice, and in Civic Tech) for discussion after the talk! https://fwd50.com/
