We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the Community Tech: Community of Practice. It is an informal space to bring people and businesses together from the community tech sector to connect, collaborate, learn and share resources and best practice. Community Tech refers to any hardware or software that delivers benefit to a community group, and which that community group has the authority to influence or control. In its broadest sense, community tech is social and technical innovation that meets a need that the market cannot, will not, or should not be the default provider for.

The community of practice is still emerging in form and content, and we will build it together with the community to collectively realise its potential.

We imagine the community of practice to be for anyone who is interested in exploring how technology can benefit their community. You might be an individual, not for profit business, community group or a potential partner organisation, researcher or freelance practitioner. Your community might be place based or be built around a shared experience, interest or need. You might be very experienced or not experienced at all, but you are curious to find out more about community tech.

Join us to hear more about the community of practice and how to get involved. There will be a couple of short presentations, including details about a new fund for exploring community tech ideas, followed by a chance to get to know others and have a drink.

We are committed to making all of our events as welcoming and accessible as possible. There will be BSL interpreters present. Please let us know if you have any access requirements. We look forward to meeting you.
