ICTworks

Please register to attend, or reserve a demo table for MERL Tech DC 2019 on September 5-6, 2019 at FHI 360 in Washington, DC.

We will engage 300 practitioners from across the development ecosystem for a two-day conference seeking to turn the theories of MERL technology into effective practice that delivers real insight and learning in our sector.

Thanks to the hard work of our presenters, session leads, and Steering Committee, we have an awesome action-packed agenda – two days of lightning talks, break-out sessions, panels, Fail Fest, demo tables, and networking with folks from diverse sectors at the intersection of MERL and Tech.
