Abstract
Technology is fundamentally changing the way government works, and for the past few years, governments have been experimenting with what works and what doesn't. Code for America has worked with dozens of governments, and Abhi Nemani, Co-Executive Director of Code for America, will share what they have been learning about what are key principles for a 21st century government."
