#Futurespotters: The international community event in Tbilisi!

On citybugs :slight_smile:

Hi @realhovo, thanks for stepping up :slight_smile:

Did you already buy tickets and/or do you need support? Are you interested in helping build the event with the community? Here is where we’re planning it and organising around tasks, it would be great if you picked one or let others here know what are your expectations from meeting with Georgians, Egyptians and edgeryders everywhere. 

Ok so reading your profile, citybugs.am looks very interesting. So you have set up a company selling interactive collaborative mapping platforms to help create social change, right? How is that going? the website looks professional, also seems a bit expensive. unfortunately the city platforms are all in Armenian so couldn’t get more into the details…  

Coincidentally, we have been discussing a LOT about improving city infrastructure, from (open) mapping & securing pedestrians hot spots in Tbilisi, to developing an app for fixing streets. And we seem to keep going back at the question of how to make decision maker willing and accountable, even if you do have a great tool? You mention on your site that “The respective governmental bodies carry further responsibility to eliminate the bugs.” How do you know this or how are you preparing for it? I think it would be quite a useful experience because many futurespotters are interested in leveraging collective/ crowdsourced efforts to bring change further in the policy or intervention room.c

Would you be interested to join some of those discussions? If yes, feel free to set up a post explaining what you’re up to and we can continue discussing there. For our International event participants are welcome to put forward a session on what they are interested to explore with others, do you have something in mind? the sooner you put it up, the more time to prepare it with others here.
