4SITE DC is a mixed Barcamp and presentation session for those interested in and working in promoting social innovation in the WANA Region. You are invited to attend, participate, and present your innovative ideas and approaches. Whether WANA or MENA, the need is there. With a rapidly increasing population and already serious social, political and economic challenges, the next 10 years (and beyond) will be challenging for the region. However, local innovators have the potential to rise to these and other challenges with the same level of ingenuity and determination that has been exhibited in the region over many centuries.
