---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ben Metz <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 3:16 PM Subject: Tuesday 30th September | Drinks | Bigger Boat for Open Government | RSVP Dear all, I am emailing to invite you to the first in a series of informal drinks to explore what is happening in the field of participatory approaches to governance of the public realm. As you will know, from our interaction, this is the focus of the Bigger Boat for Open Government project that I have been engaged with over the last few months. Kindly hosted by Jericho Chambers <http://www.jerichochambers.com/> we'll meet between 6 and 9 on Tuesday 30th September for informal drinks and conversations on the subject of open government. If appropriate we might hear from one or two of the attendees about their work in the field as well as a summary of the interim findings from the Bigger Boat project. We'll be hosted by the project chairs Danny Kruger and Neal Lawson. Overall, the purpose of these drinks is to explore the possibilities for collaboration between different actors in the field (tech folk, civil society actors, funders, etc.) and over time to support these collaborations in more in depth ways as Bigger Boat develops. So - 6 - 9pm at Jericho Chambers, 12a Charterhouse Square (on the corner of Rutland Place), London EC1M 6AX.
