Livable Memphis, in partnership with Launch Memphis and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis – Memphis Branch, invites you to our 5^th Annual Summit for Neighborhood Leaders and GovCamp to explore how government and communities are using technology to create more livable cities.

PART ONE: WIRED CITIZEN

Breakout sessions include: 

· What tools are local neighborhood groups using to connect to each other and to issue?

· What tools are local advocacy groups using to keep you engaged and informed?

· What new technology tools are the City, MATA and MLGW providing to make your life easier?

· How are local faith based communities connecting their members to each other and current issues?

· Focus groups for ideas about the City's new website - your input is needed!

 
PLENARY AND KEYNOTE LUNCHEON

Kerry Hayes, Mayor Wharton’s Special Assistant for Research and Innovation, will walk us through some great examples of how other cities are using data and technology to make their cities better places to live.

Keynote address by NYC's Local Projects - a renowned media design firm and creators of CHANGE BY US - NYC's idea sharing technology platform. 

PART TWO: GOVCamp

The City collects all kinds of data (about parks, accidents, health issues, property, pollution, etc.) that can be used to create problem solving tools for making Memphis more livable. What kinds of applications can YOU imagine?  

The afternoon GovCamp will preview the City of Memphis available public data, and give participants a chance to prioritize what data sets should be released and brainstorm about what kinds of tools can be created to make that data accessible to the public. Use the examples from the morning to inspire what can be done here!

1:00pm-4:00pm GovCamp
Governments across the country have been making data sets open and available to all citizens, and we'd like to bring that trend to Memphis. So what does that mean to you? Innovative citizens can do extraordinary things with this this kind of data! What are some cool things the City of Memphis and its citizens can do with all this information? Well, that’s the point of GovCamp...city officials will present data that could be made available. Then, citizens will have their chance to apply that data in open and innovative ways.
