@obi-belonging.bsky.socialActivate belonging through the power of creativity and agency! Our Power Hour will feature a set of concurrent spaces designed for one purpose: find a way to plug in and take tangible action to CREATE and COMMIT to something during O&B26 curated by Mahogany Mayfield.
@obi-belonging.bsky.socialHere's a sneak peek at The Commons, OBCONF26's vibrant community space, featuring art exhibits, and more, curated by OBI’s Digital Communications Manager, Christian Ivey. The Commons features Louisville locals: DJ Ayomi, Sara Noori, Carmichael's Bookstore, and more.
@obi-belonging.bsky.socialIn coordination with national and European partners, we are thrilled to offer pre-conference sessions the day before O&B26 begins. These "learning labs" are intimate, smaller spaces that offer deeper learning and concrete ways to support those work.
@obi-belonging.bsky.socialWhat would it look like to build government systems and offerings together that truly work for all?
