Hacknight Session #94 - Featuring Mike Colledge from Ipsos Canada

What do Theresa May, Donald Trump and Collin Kaepernick have in common? They are all the result of social forces and shifts that are re-shaping our politics, our news and our expectations of the private sector. Mike Colledge, President of Ipsos Public Affairs will present Canadian and Global insights from Ipsos research on Populism and Fake News.

Its also YOW Civic Tech's 2nd Birthday! There will be food and (most likely) birthday cake.

==============

You are invited to Ottawa Civic Tech's weekly "hacknights", held every Tuesday evening from 6:00-8:00pm. Free and open to all, hacknights bring together people from all walks of life to connect, learn, share, and collaborate.

You do not need to be a "techie" to attend - everyone is welcome to participate and contribute to building civic good through technology, data, design, policy, advocacy & citizen engagement. Join us!

Typically, the first Tuesday of the month features a guest speaker. Other weeks may also feature a guest speaker, but is primarily meant to provide dedicated time and space for the community to make progress on their projects.

6:00-6:30pm -- Doors Open; Networking
