NDI has been reaching out to the tech community over the last few years to explore mutually beneficial ways to work together. You may recall our conference in Silicon Valley last year, billed Governing Democratically in a Tech-Empowered World. Next week we're venturing south to engage the tech community in northern Virginia with our new friends from the NVTC - the Northern Virginia Technology Council. 
 
NDI and the International Committee of the NVTC are co-hosting a lunch discussion that hits on a couple of the key themes we're working on surrounding technology and democracy these days - digital security and civic innovation. The first panel, Digital Security to Protect Human Rights and Democracy Activists, will feature former NDItech star Ian Schuler and Amie Stepanovich - Senior Policy Counsel from Access. The panel will be moderated by Mohamed Reda, Chair of the International Committee of NVTC. Following a nice lunch the second panel - Technology, Civic Innovation and Democracy Support - will be moderated by Alex Howard and feature Megan Ryskamp Partnerships from Google; Amy Ngai Director of Partnerships and Training from the Sunlight Foundation; and our own Scott Hubli - Director of Governance from NDI.
 
Here are the details, we'd like to see you there!
