FtC Bangkok will explore two focal areas:

• The evolution of innovation in digital public goods and open web funding, with a focus on impact evaluation and related challenges.

• Local and regional approaches in Southeast Asia (SEA) concerning commons-in-practice and public goods.

This conference is intentionally designed to be interactive and hands-on, emphasising intimate engagement and peer-to-peer learning through interactive workshops, with an intimate main stage area for presentations.
