The best solutions always emerge from diverse minds coming together to solve common problems. That's why we're inviting the Bay Area's best urbanists, artists, journalists, scientists, communicators, business and civic minds, and more to join leading developers and designers in prototyping and building ways to improve life for all citizens of San Francisco - and eventually, beyond. (Who Should Attend) List your skillsets and areas of expertise in your registration, and check out what types of people you'll be working with in the attendee list.
Join us for the second of three Urban Innovation Weekends as part of the Summer of Smart, an initiative of Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (@GAFFTA) in partnership with San Francisco Department of Technology, Code for America, SPUR, The Bay Citizen, Change.org, GovFresh, Shareable, and many others! We'll be prototyping solutions to address pressing urban issues, and this second weekend will focus on projects centered around Sustainability, Transportation, and Energy.
