Participants can register to attend via the Eventbrite
Consequence scanning is a concept developed by Doteveryone which highlights the interface between technology and policy and fits alongside other agile processes in an iterative development cycle. This is a way for organisations to consider the potential consequences of their product or service on people and society and provides an opportunity to mitigate or address potential harms or disasters before they happen.
