About this Event
Hosted by UK-based charity mySociety and returning for its 7th edition, TICTeC 2024 will focus on the sharing of research, knowledge and experiences to examine and improve the impacts of civic technology, in order to strengthen democracy, public participation, transparency, and accountability across the world.
TICTeC 2024 will take place in-person in London, and online.
TICTeC 2024 will bring together those from across the world who build, research, use and fund civic technology to talk openly and honestly about its impacts and how to improve them. At previous TICTeC conferences, between 150-250 people have gathered from more than 35 countries.
Core themes
After twenty years of mySociety, and with TICTeC’s 10th anniversary coming up in 2025 – we want to think about what is needed now to match the big challenges of the next twenty years.
As well as examining the impact that civic technology is having upon societies around the world, the big question we want to answer via TICTeC is:
What is needed to make civic tech on a global scale more successful and impactful, to tackle global problems around democracy and climate change?
This breaks down into two sub questions that we want to explore. What is the role of civic tech in:
- safeguarding and advancing democracy/transparency where it is under threat?
- enabling the effective and democratic change needed to meet the challenge of climate change?
Call for Proposals now open until 22nd March 2024
This 2 day conference provides the opportunity for researchers to present theoretical or empirical work related to the conference themes. We also welcome proposals for individuals to lead workshops or give presentations relating to the conference theme. We encourage submissions to focus on the specific impacts of technologies, rather than showcase new tools that are as yet untested.
You can find more information about the Call for Proposals and how to submit here.
Further details on speakers and sessions will be added to the TICTeC website regularly.
