The document outlines Charles Sacco's vision for a City Events & Activities Network to connect citizens and share information about local events, activities, and classifieds. It would go beyond just listing events by also including an institutional knowledge library, citizen engagement features, and partnerships to share knowledge. The platform needs to be free to users, not slow down host websites, and have an intuitive and engaging interface to encourage use. It should allow sharing of materials like videos and photos from past events.
