Ep51 - Ryan Ko | Pre-Hype Summit

Every year the Code for America Summit is the must go to event for civic techies and open data advocates from across the continent and around the world. After the pandemic forced us all online, finally we are able to come together for a hybrid in-person and online summit being hosted May 17-18 in Washington, D.C..

For this year's summit we are trying something new. Partnering with Code for America, Stories from the Open Gov will be doing semi-live podcasting throughout the event. Think of this as your window into the summit: a chance to hear from key speakers, get insights from people on the ground and daily analysis of key themes that are emerging.

To help kick this off, we are joined by Code for America’s Chief of Staff, Ryan Ko and brand new Director of Communications, Marlena Medford. Join us as we discuss the upcoming summit, giving a peak behind the curtain and highlighting what to look for over the next couple days.
