Welcome to CityCampLex

An un-conference to bring Geeks and Government together in Lexington, KY. However, not exclusively just for Lexington. All of our neighbors are invited. 

 

 

What is CityCampLex?

 

CityCamp is a FREE unconference focused on innovation for municipal governments and community organizations. As an unconference, content for CityCamp is not planned for a passive audience. Instead, content is created and organized by participants and coordinated by facilitators. Participants are expected to play active roles in sessions. This provides an excellent format for creative, open exchange geared toward action.

 

CityCamp’s are meant to bring together citizens, local government officials, municipal employees, experts, programmers, designers and journalists to share perspectives and insights about the cities in which they live.
