CalMatters shines light on legislative actions for the public\, while Crown Shy channels public consensus back to policymakers. Grounded in expertise from congressional tech modernization efforts\, this panel explores how completing both sides of the circuit builds trust and accountability.  \nPanelists: Stuart Lynn (Crownshy); Dave Lesher (CalMatters) ; Lorelei Kelly (Public Good Group) \nIntro/Moderator: Matt Victor (Bernstein Shur) \n10:15- 10:20am | Break \n10:20-11:20am | Citizens’ Assemblies 101: Designing Democratic Infrastructure for the AI Age \nAs emerging technologies reshape the economy and society\, the question of “who decides” becomes more urgent. Citizens’ assemblies offer a proven model for engaging everyday people in complex public decisions\, from climate policy to AI governance. Learn how and why citizens’ assemblies work\, and to collaboratively explore how one might be used to address workforce development in the digital age. \nPanelists: Zabrae Valentine (Public Good Group); Jennifer Chace (USM); Elicia Wilson (Gitlab Foundation); \nIntro/Moderator: Jake Hirsch-Allen (the Dais); \n11:20 – 11:30am | Break \n11:30am- 12:30pm | Scaling Deliberation to Millions; Demo & Discussion \nDigital tools are reshaping how citizens deliberate and how policymakers listen.

This panel will explore how trusted data intermediaries—supported by privacy-enhancing technologies—can give publishers tools to manage their content\, safeguard privacy\, and negotiate collectively with AI developers. By shifting from extractive to collaborative models\, TDIs offer a path toward a more sustainable and equitable digital information economy. \nPanelists: Courtney Radsch (Open Markets Institute)\, Lacey Strahm (OpenMined); Matt Prewitt (RadicalxChange) \nModerator: Nathan Sanders (Berkman Klein) \n2:10- 2:20pm | Break \n2:20- 3:20pm | Cooperatives in the Data Economy: Decentralizing Data\, Democratizing Value \nAs data becomes one of the world’s most valuable resources\, cooperatives offer a promising model for shared ownership and governance. Their decentralized\, community-based structure makes them uniquely suited to steward data responsibly and to ensure that digital identity\, personal information\, and AI-era value creation benefit the many\, not the few. Join us to explore the legal\, technical\, and organizational innovations that position cooperatives as essential infrastructure for the digital age. \nPanelists: Jeb Bell (Project Liberty); Elettra Bietti (Northeastern Law); Christine Kim (Mozilla Foundation) \nModerator: Theo Skeadas (All Tech is Human) \n3:20- 3:30pm | Break \n3:30-4:00pm | Keynote: Accelerating Digital Civic Infrastructure in US  \nBeth Noveck (The Burnes Center for Social Change\, Northeastern University) \n4:00- 5:00pm | Break & Walk \n5:00-7:00pm | Evening Reception (Hosted at The Center for Law + Innovation at Maine Law) \n  \nFriday\, October 31 – Innovation Sprint\nHow might we design digital tools\, platforms\, or governance models that responsibly leverage Maine’s data and resources—including housing\, workforce development\, and energy infrastructure — into a shared public commons\, while keeping in mind issues of digital equity and privacy\, so that Maine not only addresses its local challenges but also becomes a model for scalable\, equitable solutions that other states and countries can adopt? \n8:30-9:00am | Breakfast & Networking \n9:00-10:30am | Inspiration & Problem Framing  \n10:30 – 10:45am | Team Formation & Planning \n10:45 – 11:45am | Research & Discovery Sprint \n11:45 – 12:15pm | Working Lunch \n12:15-1:15pm | Pitches & Group Feedback \n1:15- 1:30pm | Closing Circle \n  \nTravel & Accommodations\nHotels\nWe’ve secured discounted rates at the following hotels within walking distance to the venue: \n\nAC Hotel Portland Downtown/Waterfront\nResidence Inn Portland Downtown/Waterfront\n\nFlying into Portland \n\nThe nearest airport is Portland International Jetport (PWM)\, located just 15 minutes from downtown.\nFrom the airport\, you can take a bus\, taxi\, or use Uber/Lyft to get to the Roux Institute.\n\nFlying into Boston \n\nConcord Coach Lines offers direct bus service from Logan Airport to downtown Portland.\nBuses run multiple times daily\, with pickup right at each terminal.\nThe trip takes about 2 hours and drops you off at Thompson’s Point in Portland.\nFrom there\, it’s a 10–15 minute ride to the Roux Institute by taxi\, Uber/Lyft\, or local bus.\n\n  \nAlternatively\, you can rent a car and drive (approx. 2 hours north via I‑95). \nIf you’re flying into Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)\, you have a few easy options to get to Portland: \nTip: Book Concord Coach in advance at concordcoachlines.com for best availability.
