As you will know, from our interaction, this is </span><span style="font-size:12px">the focus of the Bigger Boat for Open Government project that I have been engaged with over the last few months.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12px">Kindly hosted by <a href="http://www.jerichochambers.com/" target="_blank">Jericho Chambers</a> 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.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:12px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12px">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.</span></div>
