The 2015 Code for America Summit was our biggest to date. Over 1200 technologists, community members, and government staff and officials met in Oakland, CA to learn about 21st century government and the civic tech movement.
If you couldn't make it, we want to make sure you still get to take part in key Summit moments. We’ve gathered top Summit videos, photos, recaps, and #CfASummit social media for you.
