Talks this month
———————-

Jenni Endicot, Strategic Advisor at the Alberta Digital Innovation Office (DIO), will share some of the past and upcoming initiatives from the DIO to use technology to curb costs and provide simpler, faster, and better services for citizens.

Darren Boyer will share the story of Lightcatch, a free service that people can use to report trouble and alert others. Within 8 months of starting, they helped recover $1.2 million of stolen goods, including 33 stolen vehicles.

Finally, we will quickly review a summary of the feedback we received from our meeting and discuss a number of changes we’ll be making for the upcoming year. This will include an ongoing list of projects open to BetaCity YEG attendees and developers in Edmonton, which will allow volunteers to pick and choose impactful/interesting projects to work on.
