[Commlist] TICTeC 2020 - Call for Proposals - Impacts of Civic Technology Conference

We're delighted to announce our keynote speakers for the 6th annual 
Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC) 
<https://tictec.mysociety.org/2020>.

We'd be joined by esteemed writer, activist and political analyst 
Nanjala Nyabola 
<https://www.mysociety.org/2020/01/03/tictec-2020-keynote-nanjala-nyabola/>, 
and the equally unmissable political scientist, lecturer, advisor and 
civic strategist Dr. Hollie Russon Gilman 
<https://www.mysociety.org/2020/01/07/tictec-2020-keynote-hollie-russon-gilman/>. 
Both have substantial bodies of work on how technology impacts society 
so we look forward to their inspiring and provocative keynote addresses.

*_Call for Proposals still open_*
TICTeC 2020 <https://tictec.mysociety.org/2020> will take place in 
Reykjavik on 24th and 25th March. The conference is all about sharing 
research, lessons learnt and ideas about the impacts of civic tech and 
digital democracy, so better tools are developed. What works and what 
doesn't? Why? How? How best can we measure this?

If you have interesting insights, experience, research or ideas that 
contribute to this, then we'd love to hear from you: you can still apply 
to present or host a workshop at TICTeC 
<https://tictec.mysociety.org/2020#call-for-proposals> before next 
Friday 17th January.

We particularly encourage submissions on how digital technologies have 
and could be used to tackle the climate crisis, as we, like many others, 
are very interested in 
<https://www.mysociety.org/2020/01/06/climate-crisis-the-one-thing-well-be-talking-about-this-year/> 
what role civic tech can play. Submissions relevant to this theme are 
also encouraged.

Early bird tickets are still available until 14th February, so do sign 
<https://tictec.mysociety.org/2020#register>up now

We really hope to see you in Reykjavik! If you have any questions, 
please feel free to email (tictec /at/ mysociety.org) <mailto:(tictec /at/ mysociety.org)>
