This month we’re teaming up with Harmony Labs and The Brown Institute for Media Innovation for our next event focused on Informing the Electorate. Reboot Democracy brings together innovators in the technological and political spheres, helps them connect with each other, and supports their development of tools that will revolutionize our democratic system. Teams will share the projects they are working on, we’ll hear from a diverse group of speakers, and then we’ll open up the mic to anyone who wants to pitch an idea they are excited about before we break into networking.

This event is a forum for anyone interested in leveraging technology to solve political issues to come together to network, discuss ideas, and potentially form teams for future events. Come and learn how to better utilize the resources of the global tech community toward a stronger democracy for all and join us as we discuss what our next steps as concerned citizens should be and how to become more active and effective.
