Networking Event: Tech for Good

CGI Idea Exchange: Networking Lunches (New in 2016)

SESSION FEATURES: INTERACTIVE • LUNCH SERVED

Developments in the digital space have helped spur economic growth, promote social reconciliation, and increase emergency first responders’ efficacy in saving lives. How can CGI members expand on the current applications of “tech for good” and harness its power that has hardly been realized?

A number of subtopics will be explored, including: tech for financial inclusion, emerging technologies, open source, diversity and inclusion, the Internet of Things for human health, the Internet of Things for the environment, internet access, and tech for disaster response and resilience.

The 2016 Annual Meeting will feature the CGI IDEA EXCHANGE. This unique series of facilitated networking sessions will offer members the opportunity to:

• Easily connect with other members of the CGI community who share similar professional interests in smaller groups.

• Exchange insight, information, and ideas—as well as lay the groundwork for further conversations and member-driven action beyond the Annual Meeting.
