Increasingly, the UK has become a surveillance society: one in which we aren't allowed to see the workings of government, nor governmental information relating to our towns and cities, yet are captured on camera more often than citizens of any other country in the world. At the same time, commercial services capture detailed information about our lives and sell it for commercial gain, without letting us decide who gets to see it.
At BarCamp Transparency we'll be talking about ways to improve transparency in government and commerce, including Internet activism, social media and technology solutions. If you're interested in a more open and democractic society, we'd love to have you there. Attendance is free: just bring your ideas.
Barcamp Transparency UK is a Barcamp style event run along the rough lines of transparencycamp.org.
This is a FREE event, however in order to control numbers (which are limited) we will be releasing tickets on Eventbrite.
The first batch of tickets will be available from Sunday 28th June at 3PM GMT.
