CityCamp Oakland
CityCamp Oakland is a one-day unconference — a participant-driven gathering where anyone can propose, lead, or join sessions about the issues and opportunities shaping life in Oakland. Instead of a pre-set agenda, the day starts with an empty schedule (“The Wall”) and a room full of people ready to share ideas, skills, and solutions.
Whether you care about public transit, housing, parks, education, open data, community safety, climate resilience, or local arts — if it touches public life in Oakland, it belongs here. Sessions might be discussions, hands-on workshops, demos, or collaborative problem-solving labs.
Expect to connect with a diverse mix of neighbors, civic leaders, technologists, advocates, designers, policy wonks, educators, and curious residents. Bring your ideas, your expertise, or just your curiosity — everyone is welcome, and no experience is required.
CityCamp Oakland is more than a conference. It’s a space for real conversations, cross-community connections, and collective action. Come ready to listen, share, and shape Oakland’s future together.
