#CTIF2020, a virtual conference
Wit the coronavirus spreading a rapid pace across the world, we, at the Civic Tech Innovation Network were faced with the tough decision of calling off our much anticipated third annual Civic Tech Innovation Forum. But we were not going to let a mere virus hold us back and we quickly turned lemons into lemonade by hosting three civic tech webinars with several international and African speakers. We share some of those highlights in this newsletter.
