**Register at the Luma Page**: https://luma.com/gh9ysbg8 In the spirit of this year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” OGP invites our closest community of civic builders and partners to reflect on this together. Give to Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and collaboration. When people, organisations, and communities contribute knowledge, mentorship, visibility, and opportunities, we collectively expand pathways for women to participate and lead. This learning circle is part of OGP’s Stewards for Good programme, which supports communities building technology for public good and expands pathways for civic participation. The session is jointly presented with our steward, Women Devs SG. It reflects OGP’s broader mission to create more inclusive models of citizen participation, ensuring that diverse voices are involved not only in public policy discussions, but also in designing the technologies that power public good. ### **Human Library Learning Circles** To deepen the conversation, OGP and WDS will host Human Library-style learning circles, where women leaders and civic builders share their insights and lived experiences on how they: * build technology for public good * participate in civic innovation * shape inclusive digital systems ✨ **About Open Government Products (OGP)** OGP is an experimental sandbox unit of the Singapore Government that builds tech for public good.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
