Come and join us this Saturday to collaborate in the creation of online and offline tools to suppport voters to access the information they need to decide who to vote for in GE2017. We can think of 4 themes to work around that might provide a useful focus for the day but are happy to hear other proposals at the start of the event when we'll use an 'OpenSpace' approach to chose what topics to work on. This builds on much of the work that's been happening in the past days and weeks.  We invite people with skills in UI, digital, data, political science, activism, media and communications to join us for a co-design session to build on and contribute to a range of initiatives which aim to build a progressive alliance and enable data-informed tactical voting on 8 June.  The organisers are a group of progressives from several parties. This event will use agile principles to enable all participants to collaborate and develop prototypes of ideas. The outputs will be made available for all participants - and others - to build on. We have decided on four themes for the day.  1. Improving existing tactical voting platforms: For example http://www.open-britain.co.uk/ which we think could do with some help from a UI perspective See also our sketch for a data-driven tactical voting platform aimed at voters and activists, which combines election and Brexit data and links to other sites such as vote swap sites http://bit.ly/2pcs6MQ See also many other initiatives listed here  bit.ly/GE2017TechHandbook 2. Linking to the local: How can voters find out more about stories/data/evidence around what is happening locally - correlated with parties and policies - to inform their vote on June 8? 3. Interpreting marginality: What are the indicators that describe marginality beyond "what happened last time"?  4. Engaging offline for online engagement: How do we communicate with voters across the UK, and help them connect to online resources they may find valuable but might not be aware of? Who should come? We need a mixture of people with different skills: Technology Data linking Web/App development Data analysis Data visualisation Design User interface design Graphic and communication design System/service design Communications and media Communications strategy Social media strategy and planning Community engagement  Political science, social science and activism Defining 'marginal' constituencies in GE2017 Social and political analysis Data visualisation   Sources of data To help us all understand what skills will be available on the day, please add your interest/skill/specilaism in the 'Job Title' field of the sign up form here on Eventbrite. We'll be in touch with more information soon, in the meantime we look forward to seeing you this Saturday - be there at 10 am so you can help set the agenda for the day.

Powered by later lifestyle specialists, Auriens, this 48-hour hackathon will enable the brightest minds to bring about the best new thinking for baby boomers and beyond. From technology and travel to health and hospitality, this first-of-a-kind event is designed to hack innovation across all aspects of the aging spectrum. One aim: to deliver an immersive, innovative and imaginative prototype that challenges the conventions around old age and hacks new ideas to improve the quality (and quantity!) of all aspects of later life for this generation and the next. Considering everything from hospitality and healthcare to travel, fashion and retail, this event is expected to excel in creating age-defying ideas. The hackathon will take place at OXO 2 in London.
