Latest revision as of 02:27, 3 December 2020
Aspiration events are first and foremost convened to strengthen the ties and social networks of activists, organizers, and technology practitioners in the nonprofit/nongovernmental sectors.
The Dev Summit agenda is designed and facilitated using Aspiration's participatory model, in an environment where powerpoint slides are not a thing, and dialogue and collaboration drive the learning.
Our philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspiration events have particular traits; we de-emphasize broadcast behaviors and fetishizing expertism, and instead focus on working sessions that are self-organized whenever possible to meet the specific needs of those present, in accessible, inclusive ways.
Please note: This is a truly dynamic agenda, and sessions are likely to move around and evolve. We thank everyone in advance for the flexibility.
Wednesday November 18
Opening Session (9.00 PT / 17.00 UTC)
Dev Summit 2020 will be called to order with a friendly and fast-paced kickoff that includes words of welcome, non-verbal participant introductions, along with overviews of the agenda, participation guidelines and meeting logistics.

Working sessions will invite participants to explore and share knowledge on topics identified in pre-event dialogues. Facilitators will briefly introduce the objective of each session, and participants may then elect to join the session of their choice.
