Event Details

Tech@State: Real-Time Awareness will focus on how to use the vast amount of data generated by social media and other internet technologies to deliver real-time awareness.  Specifically, we will be examining the range of challenges that exist when trying to create real-time awareness, especially in the context of breaking news or events, crisis response and citizen engagement.   We’ll discuss questions like:  Which data feeds are the most reliable?  What is the best way to filter the data?  How should the data be analyzed?  What’s the best way to convey the information to the user?  What do citizens expect when they use social media to communicate with governments?

Tech@State: Real-Time Awareness will take place over two days, Feb 3 – 4, at the Jack Morton Auditorium.  Day 1 is a conference format while Day 2 is an unconference where participants collaborate with other attendees to create their own agenda.   (Note:  There is a separate Eventbrite registration for Day 2. REGISTER Here for DAY 2 – The UNCONFERENCE.)

Day 1 featured speakers include:

Craig Fugate, FEMA Administrator

David Weinberger, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University
