Using technology to engage with government, or "civic tech" is a movement of people in dialogue with their governments and each other to solve complex social problems. As technology tools have become more advanced and social media more accepted, more civic technology companies have appeared and are flourishing. Join us on Election Day (of course) for an online webinar for a panel discussion of founders of some of the up and coming new companies that are focusing on this important new tech sector, including: Areti Kampyli, Cliqstart Rani Yadav-Ranjan, 4PIA, Inc. Bart Myers, Countable Andrew Moriarty, FWD.us
