In this two-day The Tech We Want Online Summit, the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) is bringing together key voices working on public interest technologies to start a collective conversation about new practical ways to build software that is useful, simple, long-lasting and focused on solving people's real problems.

Building technology for technologists is NOT the tech we want.

The world is tired of falling down the endless rabbit holes of tech tools that have become the norm as if it's the only way forward. The Tech We Want is our attempt to help build critical mass and put the issue on the agenda of developers and decision-makers everywhere.

The Online Summit is open to everyone, especially technology workers, developers, engineers and programming language specialists who are interested in taking a critical look at current technologies.

Join us in building the tech we want and that the world needs!

All attendees, sponsors, partners, volunteers and staff at our hackathon are required to agree with the Hack Code of Conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to ensure a safe environment for everybody.
