There is another democratic future beyond broken electoral politics or autocracy, and DemocracyNext wants to help make it a reality. The organization plans to challenge the status quo and bring an alternative democratic future to life. Its mission of DemocracyNext is to build new institutions for the next democratic paradigm of citizen participation, representation and deliberation.
Expert speakers will explore what the next democratic paradigm might look like and how to get there. For a list of panelists and the full agenda, view the registration page.
