Hello everyone,

Next April 27 and 28, mySociety will be hosting our annual research 
event: The Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC2016) 
<https://www.mysociety.org/research/tictec-2016/> in Barcelona.

Returning for a second year, TICTeC is the world’s only conference 
dedicated to exploring the impact that civic technology and digital 
democracy are having upon citizens, decision makers and governments 
around the globe.

The primary goal of the conference is to promote and share rigorous and 
meaningful research into online technologies and digital democracy 
around the world.

So, if you have completed, or are currently undertaking, research on 
this theme and would like to present your work, then please do *submit 
an abstract / proposal* 
<https://docs.google.com/a/mysociety.org/forms/d/12aw7JLvtx-apQ6jeL-roakoTvC9SVlAwgVyWQawxIZY/viewform>. 


We also welcome proposals for individuals to lead workshops or give 
presentations relating to the conference theme - so if you run a civic 
tech project, then we'd love to hear from you.
