Engagement: How can applications be designed to contextualize data and make it meaningful? Action: What is needed---of and beyond technology---to create change and innovation in the City of Chicago? Who should come? Everyone who cares about making government more open, accessible and engaged with its residents. We're bringing together Chicago's community, government, journalism, technology and business leaders, inventors, designers and software coders.
