What is Responsible Technology? 

Responsible Technology promotes a fair, inclusive and thriving democratic society. It considers the context of the individual and of the public as a whole, the potential harmful consequence and safeguards against them, and is founded on fair and transparent contributions between people and technology. 

At Doteveryone, we’ve spent the past year researching the issues organisations face when trying to embed responsible technology practices in practical and tangible ways.

From this we’ve developed an approach that will help guide organisations to assess the level of responsibility of their technology products or services as they develop them.

Responsible Tech 2019 was designed to help attendees:

• Understand what responsible tech is and why we need it to respond to the problems with tech today
• Articulate the potential benefits of responsible tech for business and for society
• Discover solutions to the current challenges of putting responsible principles into practice
• Learn how to make responsible technology part of the operations of a growing and thriving organisation
• Catalyse change in leadership, policy and investment to make responsible technology the new normal.

Our event Accessibility Fund:

We wanted to ensure that Responsible Tech 2019 was accessible and bought together diverse and underrepresented voices in order to make responsible technology the new normal.

Our aim was to make the event a welcoming, safe and productive space for everyone regardless of age, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion (or lack thereof), education, or socio-economic status.

Therefore, we put aside part of our event budget, supported by our generous sponsors, Bulb, to support those who might otherwise face barriers in attending.

Support was allocated on the basis of the following:

• The support will help to ensure there are diverse voices in the room
• The potential benefit, to the individual attending, the organisation they represent and/or the field of Responsible Tech more widely, of attending. (Based on the content of written responses in the application forms).

This was Doteveryone’s first ticketed event, and the first time we’ve put in place a fund of this kind. If you have any thoughts, comments or advice on the process then please get in touch via [email protected] so we can improve it for next time.
