This forum will be a highly participatory, community-driven event so we are actively seeking practitioners from around the world with a wide range of ideas, experiences, and backgrounds to lead each type of session. Special consideration will be given to sessions led by practitioners from low- and middle-income countries:

• A headlining keynote presentation from USAID and multiple interactive online sessions, led by trained facilitators in English, French and Spanish.
• Sessions spanning the globe from 4:00 GMT to 20:00 GMT featuring your peers at the cutting edge of technology and development in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
• Free participation in engaging, compelling, relevant sessions on TechChange’s online learning platform.
• Inspiring experiences and results from innovative projects that achieve development goals by the creative use of new and emerging technologies.
