Overview for STACK Meetups
Conceived in 2019, GovTech's STACK Community brings together like-minded individuals who share a passion for exploring innovative ways of using Tech for Public Good.
Community members are encouraged to share knowledge, cross-learn, and network with peers and subject matter experts through events such as our:
