Welcome to CityCampOak 2016!
Join hundreds of Oaklanders on February 6th for a day of making our
democracy stronger, our communities more connected and our local government
better at the fourth annual CityCamp Oakland; hosted by OpenOakland, the
City of Oakland and key community organizations.
If you’ve wanted to talk with other Oaklanders about issues of civic
engagement, better technology in government, transparency, accessibility of
government services, ways community can work together, business development
or education- this is a great place for all of those conversations. At
CityCamp Oakland *you* get to pitch sessions you’re passionate about, lead
them yourself or gather with like minded Oaklanders to connect and
collaborate.
CityCamp is an unstructured conference where engaged Oaklanders like
yourself combine forces with city officials, techies, software developers,
civic leaders and journalists. We know many things can be improved in
Oakland and we believe in the power of communities to bring about those
changes - CityCamp Oakland is one way to connect our diverse communities
with common goals.
This year our featured speakers are mayor-elect Libby Schaaf who has
supported open data transparency efforts and civic innovation as a
CouncilMember, along with Jose Corona, the City of Oakland’s Director of
Equity and Strategic Partnerships, nationally recognized for his work
leading Inner City Advisors (ICA) in overseeing a portfolio of local
companies to create 3,000 new jobs, generating over $150 million in wealth
for local residents and increasing the percentage of Oakland residents
being hired by ICA companies to 73 percent over the past ten years. More
speakers to be announced shortly.
