Local governments are changing. Forward-thinking public servants across the country are leveraging technology to innovate the way our cities work — and it’s accelerated by the exchange of ideas, solutions, best practices, and even software code between likeminded leaders.

That’s why we launched the Code for America Peer Network: a professional learning network for local government innovators who share the common goal of taking innovation in their city to the next level.

Through events, expert resources designed around member priorities, and networking opportunities with leaders inside and outside government, the Code for America Peer Network will empower you to be more effective in your city and in your career — and to drive forward our collective vision for a new kind of public service.

NETWORK AT INVITE-ONLY EVENTS:Attend the annual Code for America Summit, a gathering of more than 250 experts in civic technology from inside and outside government that informs shared priorities and goals for the coming year.

“Code for America’s Peer Network... will enable cities to collaborate and learn from each other how best to use these new tools for improving life in their communities.”
