ChangeCamp Vancouver is being organized by the Vancouver community to bring together citizens, technologists, designers, academics, policy makers, political players, change-makers and government employees to discuss participatory governance in a web-enabled world. The key theme of this event is:

How can we help government become more open and responsive?
How do we as citizens organize to get better outcomes ourselves?

ChangeCamp is a partly structured unconference. One track of the conference will introduce the kinds of projects that harness new ideas and tools for social change. Other tracks at the conference will be participant-driven, with the agenda created collaboratively at the start of the event, allowing participants to share their experiences and expertise.
