Tech for Good: A live panel for TechWeek19 discussing this with Tim Jones, Georgia Robertson, John Ascroft, Dave Lane and Menno Finlay-Smits

Tech for Good? This is a panel discussion on that topic recorded just one week ago.  We joined forces with Ian Wells (many thanks to you) from Canterbury Tech and hosted a Techweek 2019 session in the Parry Field Lawyers boardoom considering “Tech for Good” and what legal structures are best: charity? Company? Social Enterprise? Something else? After an intro from Kris Morrison (Partner at Parry Field), we heard from a range of panelists with questions facilitated by me and hearing the journey of Tim Jones (Kilmarnock/Grow Good Guy), Georgia Robertson (Humanitix) , Menno Finlay-Smits (Cacophony Project), John Ascroft (Jade Software) and Dave Lane (Open Education Resource foundation).  Thanks to the great crowd who turned out and asked some good questions too!
