Tropo is proud to be a gold sponsor of CityCamp San Francisco, taking place on Saturday, June 18th.

CityCamp San Francisco

CityCamps are “unconference” events focused on innovation for municipal governments and community organizations. This particular CityCamp event is the second in a series of events taking place in San Francisco this weekend focused on open government.

The first, a debate among mayoral candidates at the Pier 38 offices of Automattic, sponsored by GovFresh, focused on the use of open data to encourage civic engagement. CityCamp San Francisco follows two days later and bookends this important discussion nicely with a day long series of talks and presentations by those in the Gov 2.0 community.

We are delighted to be taking part in this important conversation among San Franciscans as they gather to discuss ideas on how they can make their city better.

Tropo is a platform that can be used to build innovative applications that connect people to their communities and to make delivery of public services easier and more efficient.

In the recent Applications for Good competition, team SnapFresh built a Tropo-based application to help those on public assistance in the Bay Area to find locations in their communities that sell fresh produce and other nutritious foods.

It is innovative uses of communication technologies like this that we hope to encourage through our sponsrship of events like CityCamp.

We’re looking forward to a great event and we hope to see you there.
