What we’re about
A team of citizens, coders, and volunteers in Fresno driving civic innovation to build tech solutions that help turn the city around!
👋🏽 Hey, we're heading to the inaugural ACT Congress, and you're invited!
This is the annual gathering where civic tech groups from all over the country come together to share ideas, showcase projects, and learn from one another and Open Fresno is proud to represent the Central Valley!
Whether you're a longtime volunteer, a curious newcomer, or someone who just loves seeing tech used for good, ACT Congress is a great way to plug into the wider civic tech community and bring fresh ideas back home to Fresno.
Here's what to expect:
🔹Inspiring talks from civic tech leaders
🔹Hands-on sessions and project showcases
🔹A chance to connect with like-minded folks using tech to strengthen communities
🔹 Plenty of ideas to bring back to our local Open Fresno work
Want to join us?
You don't have to be a coder or tech wizard, if you care about your community and want to see how technology can help solve real problems, you belong at ACT Congress!
