We charge $5 to try to get a more accurate RSVP count (read more here), but let us know if you can’t make it because of the money.

What are some changes to expect this year?

1. Morning Planned Sessions: As a change to the unconference format, we’ll have a couple high-quality, morning pre-lunch events scheduled to motivate you to come early and drive better conversations later.
   
2. News Start-athon: Growing on the success of the past two hackathons, this year BCNI will feature a Start-athon, which means the day will used to launch technology, data, tools and other ideas to better inform communities. Do you have a half-thought-out idea? Come and START it at BCNI, and then follow up at other events to move them forward.
   
3. Partnerships: We’ll likely be announcing some event partnerships to bring in some new subject matter experts into the news innovation fold.
4. Shared closing session: We’ll end the sessions at 4pm, so we can collectively see hackathon projects judged and share the biggest takeaways from all the sessions of the day.
