Leeds #GGovJam 2017 – thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Leeds GovJam 2017 was a resounding success, so here’s to all the Jammers who showed up, got stuck in, and, 48-hours later, showed their thing! You rocked the public sector #YouAreTheJam

Team Leeds GovJam 2017

Thanks also to our awesome sponsors and supporters, our ever-faithful venue, ODI Leeds, and our fab mentors and facilitators who together enable this to happen. Read more about our volunteers and get in touch if you want to volunteer for the next jam.

Recap

We live tweeted at pace and Periscope’d all seven – yes, SEVEN – of the final Show Not Tell sessions as teams revealed their prototypes to the world. So, recap on our Twitter feed if you missed out.

You can also recap on this year’s secret theme…

The projects that we co-created…

And, how other Jammers got on around the world, including those at this year’s HQ down under in Melbourne, over on the Global GovJam website and via #GGovJam
