ACT Congress 2026
About this Event
Hosted this year by Florida Community Innovation (FCI) in Orlando, FL, this annual gathering brings together civic technologists, community advocates, nonprofit leaders, and volunteers from across the country to connect, collaborate, and build technology for social good. With unconference sessions, hands-on volunteering opportunities, and skill-building workshops led by ACT leaders. This will be a unique moment to learn, share ideas, and strengthen the civic tech community.
We also have a virtual attendance option for anyone who is not comfortable coming in person, for whatever reason (concern about discriminatory bathroom laws in Florida, the immunocompromised community, people who can't afford to travel -- anyone who needs it is welcome to attend virtually -- for free -- by filling out this form)
The night before the conference, our sponsor, FCI, is provided light bites at The Greek Corner (1600 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32804) starting at 7 PM ET.
There is a formal agenda for Day 1 of the Conference. If you'd like to propose a session, please reach out to the team at ACT ([email protected]) to share your idea. Topics can include civic tech tools, AI for social good, volunteer organizing, data ethics, accessibility, open-source projects, or lessons from your own community work. Our schedule is getting full, but we could fit you in somewhere! :) Perhaps as a poster.
We will also have local nonprofits on site with tech problems they need help with, thanks to a partnership with the Central Florida Foundation and Rally, Orange County and the City of Orlando's Social Enterprise Accerlerator.
On Day 1, breakfast and lunch will be provided on Saturday from Latin Square (250 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801). Dinner is on your own.
Day 2 is an unconference, so there will be no designated program, just conversation. Breakfast will be provided from Latin Square. Lunch is on your own.
