Hacking for the Common Good

How might practitioners from all sectors collaborate to create tools that promote the common good in our city? How can technology help alleviate and eradicate forms of injustice, teach about God’s unconditional love, or build a healthier and stronger society? Join us as we explore examples from gatherings such as the National Day of Civic Hacking and Leadership Network's Code for the Kingdom as models for mobilizing technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, hi-tech accelerators, ministry leaders, artists, and others to serve the city.
