FOR PEOPLE WORKING ON CIVIC TECHNOLOGY, EMPOWERING CITIZENS, AND GOVERNMENT TRANSFORMATION.
What?
As technology develops, governments are transformed, citizens are empowered in new ways, and new power structures can start to emerge.
Citizen Beta is an attempt at trying to understand the relationship between these things. We meet regularly to learn about new technologies, methods and best practice emerging from civil society, campaigning and governments around the world.
Tom Steinberg
Tom's done a great job of summing up what civic tech actually means. Read his article on the mySociety blog.
When and where?
We meet every month at Newspeak House in London
