Designing an equitable government together
May 12–13, 2021 / Virtual Conference
Pre-conference workshops: Tuesday, May 11
The Code for America Summit is a two-day virtual experience that brings changemakers into one room―public servants, advocates, technologists, and organizers break through some of the governments’ biggest challenges by removing barriers and expanding government access to serve all Americans. Summit offers dozens of keynotes, breakout sessions, and workshops.
For 2021, Summit will focus on four tracks: Design + Delivery; Civic Innovation + Data; Operations + Management; and Technology + Policy.
Code for America believes government can work for the people, and by the people, in the digital age, starting with the people who need it most. We build digital services that enhance government capabilities, and we help others do the same across all levels of government. We organize thousands of volunteers across over 85 chapters nationwide who improve government in their local communities. Our goal: a 21st century government that effectively and equitably serves all Americans.
Tech that doesn’t just meet the public’s expectations. Tech that beats them.
From neighborhoods to countries, the two biggest levers for improving people’s lives at scale are technology and government.
Whether it’s changing lives by automatically clearing hundreds of thousands of criminal records or designing the forms for signing up for food stamps, everyone at our summit pulls both levers to make it all happen.
