"Seize the Day, Seize the Data" - NDItech's Chris Spence on Liberation Technology

Chris Spence, our Dear Leader and NDI's Chief Technology Officer, is giving a presentation today at the Stanford Program on Liberation Technologies. The talk, entitled Seize the Day, Seize the Data, dives into NDItech's practical work on the ground implementing tech-enabled programs. International democracy promotion, like all development work, can be a frustrating, difficult slog, full of setbacks or years without visible change. And yet, at the right moment, it seems like a regime can prove as brittle as glass. In the long periods of toiling in the shadows, tech development professionals can work with partners on the ground to build the relationships, the tools, and the organizations to be ready when the moment strikes. When the eyes of the world are watching, well-prepared organizations can make change happen - and tech can assist. Silicon valley peeps, drop by Stanford and say hi!
