Three days of talking, workshops, panel discussions and more are the agenda for the second CityCamp Raleigh where private citizens, companies and goverment leaders will mix it up in search of ways to make Raleigh a better place to live.
The “camp” opens on Friday afternoon with panel discussions and continues with what the organizers call the “unconference” on Saturday and Sunday where ideas will be debated.
One of the ideas that was formed at the 2011 event turned into the fast-growing Triangle Wiki. (Read details here.)
