OGP London Summit: DRAFT AGENDA

We are pleased to share with you the first draft programme for the OGP London Summit that is being developed with partners across the open government community. We hope to bring an exciting range of sessions and opportunities to learn and share experiences. All session times listed below are subject to change. All Summit participants will come together in plenary sessions at the start and close of each day to hear inspiring speakers address the core themes of the summit, celebrate accomplishments to date, learn more about the new, ambitious commitments that both governments and civil society are making and have an opportunity to debate some of the tougher questions and challenges we face in furthering the open government movement. Throughout the rest of the 2-day event, delegates will have the choice of participating in a wide range of parallel sessions led by OGP partner organizations, or expo and demo events that will be part of the summit festival. This overview agenda includes a small section of sessions and an indication of timings. The Summit Planning Committee is finalising the much longer list of content sessions that were generated through the open call for proposals and will be led by our partners from across the open government community. As we firm up sessions and content, we will continue to update the programme so that you can start to plan your days in London and engage with the organisers.
