Canada’s Democracy Summit
We will be convening in 2 parts, the DemocracyXChange Summit (Oct 13-15) and a week-long DemocracyXChange Festival (Oct 16 - 22). Let us come together at DemocracyXChange 2020 and reach across our differences — and devices! — as we rise to this global moment.
Rising to the Global Moment
Transforming DemocracyXChange 2020 to a virtual gathering allows for new, creative ideas about how we offer programming and engagement opportunities for Summit participants. We will create a multi-platform experience that leverages technology while preserving the participatory nature and community culture of DemocracyXChange.
Join us at DemocracyXChange for our Summit and Festival with people practicing democracy from Canada and around the world to find new ways to learn, build power and reach across difference.
DRIVE CHANGE. FROM THE GROUND UP.
DemocracyXChange is the annual summit for Canada’s emerging democracy sector to connect, learn and share.
The opportunity to see this moment as ours to shape with a gathering focused on strengthening democracy and ground-up community change has never been more pressing.
From neighbourhood change-makers to thought leaders and national campaigners, DemocracyXChange is a meeting place for practitioners demonstrating the power of explicit engagement, technology and new ways of organizing to make change happen.
