Consul Conference 2025: Gran Canaria

ConsulCon25 brings together experts and practitioners in the field of (digital) citizen participation to exchange experiences, discuss best practices, and explore new developments in the field. The conference will gather platform users and partners from various cities and regions to explore the opportunities and challenges of digital forms of democratic decision-making in general.

We will ask questions like: what can we learn from current and former citizen participation use cases? What best practices exist, both on the technology side as on the government administration side? But also: How can we create better open source software collaboratively and how do we make Consul Democracy a genuine collective project? And: what are the ways in which Consul and its users may counter current global authoritarian trends?
