The Smart Chicago Collaborative has helped to run several civic hackathons including last year’s National Day of Civic Hacking events in Chicago. To help with this year’s National Day of Civic Hacking, we wanted to post how we organize and set up these events. We also wanted to go over tips and hazards to look out for when organizing these events.

In our last meetup, we asked you what you wanted to talk about! The idea of “collaboration” came up, and we want to make it happen.
So, we’ll be live streaming 5 Slide Pitches below and keeping meeting notes here.
Once everyone has had a chance to talk, let’s hang out and see how we can support each other. Connect Chicago is here to help all Chicago residents get connected— no matter where you are in the city, on the skills continuum, or in this universe of access and training providers. Let’s talk! You can tweet along at #ConnectChicago as well.
