Why You Should Attend Industry ConferencesIn Civic Hall‘s newest publication, Civicist, New York’s top leaders in civic technology explain the ins and outs of the industry: what civic tech means, how to utilize it best, who it helps, and more. In Matt Stempeck‘s latest post for Civicist, he explains how to dive head-first into civic tech by convening with other leaders and learning from them. That takes one simple step: going to industry conferences. There, you’re able to network, see what other people are doing, and build upon that.

via Matt’s post:

Whichever sector of civic tech you’re taking on, be it transportation, elections, payments, or procurement, chances are the people who have been doing that work for decades are already convening annually somewhere. That somewhere might not be in San Francisco. The average age might be older than most civic tech events. You should still go. This isn’t my advice; it’s the happily-shared secret of several successful civic tech startups.
