#Sprint16 is about to begin.
This is the first time we’ve live-blogged an event. The idea is to share the audience perspective, links to more information, and snippets of the day. We hope to start a conversation that will continue long after #Sprint16 is over.
As with anything new, we’re not sure how this will go. We could end up with a fantastic resource and record of the event, but we might not. We really appreciate your feedback and input: this year’s Sprint is all about transforming government together, and that togetherness starts from the ground up. Live blogs included.
We’ll be updating this blog throughout the day, so bookmark this page and check back now until around 6pm tonight.
Feel free to comment below, or on Twitter @gdsteam #Sprint16.
