Description

"After the financial collapse in Iceland, the process of rewriting the Icelandic constitution in four months utilizing social media, lean government and the power of the web captured the attention of the world. Finnur will share stories and lessons learnt from this process focusing on technology, political innovation and participation through social media. Finnur Magnusson was the CTO for two large scale crowdsourcing events in Iceland as well as the Icelandic Constitution Council."
