Join the Public Interest Technology program as we celebrate the one year anniversary of The Commons, our monthly publication for practitioners, with a unique live event focused on storytelling in government.

In the past year we’ve covered topics from procurement to parks, and had the opportunity to shine a light on stories important subjects for people working in and around government innovation efforts. So to celebrate one year of publication we are hosting The Commons Live! –– a live version of our newsletter. And as with all of our issues, this live issue has a theme: storytelling.

We love telling stories about government, but we can only tell so many on our own. So we’ve put together a roster of master government storytellers to help inspire practitioners to tell their own stories.
