Shifting the Power for Lasting Change

Friday, March 11
3:45PM - 4:45PM

JW Marriott
Salon 1-2
110 E 2nd St

Tech is transforming incentives for organizations and governments and changing the structure of power through greater transparency and accountability. As organizations and elected officials continue to realize that online consumer and political movements are directly impacting their intiatives and their votes, we will see more widespread and deeper participation between citizens and the institutions that impact their lives.

In this session, we will have an open discussion about how tech companies can help to democractize democracy and explore case studies of digital strategies that have moved the rock and shifted power.
