FailFest @ 2023 Code for America Summit

The DSN is headed to the Code for America Summit on May 16 and 17 in Washington, DC! If you’re attending (or local to DC), we’d love to meet you IRL.

Starts: May 17, 2023 at 7:00 PM EST
Ends: May 17, 2023 at 9:00 PM EST
Location: 2331 Calvert Street Northwest Washington, DC 20008

Failure is inevitable – rather than hiding those failures or pretending they didn’t happen, let’s celebrate and learn from them!
Join us for a FailFest, hosted by the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, where we invite you to share some of your most frustrating civic/government tech failure stories in an open-mic, off-the-record format.
To promote candid storytelling, we’ll be following the Chatham House Rule, where we ask all attendees to feel free to use the information or ideas shared but not to disclose the identity or affiliation of the sharers or any other participants.
RSVP is required for this always-popular event. Snacks and a beverage provided; additional drink tickets for FailFest speakers; cash bar.
