Trinity College Dublin will play host to the first Code for Ethics event in Ireland on 1 July 2022. The conference will feature a series of keynote speakers with experience across all aspects of open source and open data projects. 

Open source brings not only commercial benefits but also ethical ones. It can be used by everyone. This means the technology, if used correctly, can have a large positive social impact within communities.

The aim of the conference is to provide the open-source community, IT companies, NGOs and anyone else interested, the chance to gather, network, share their passion and listen to leading experts from the open source industry whilst connecting with like-minded people.

The slate of confirmed speakers will share their knowledge and expertise, share their journeys and where they see open source and open data going. These true leaders and pioneers from Ireland, United Kingdom, USA and Sweden, include:

• Clare Dillon – Executive director, InnerSource Commons Innovation Forum
• Danese Cooper – Founder and Chairperson, InnerSource Commons
• Martin Callinan – Director, Source Code Control 
• Phil Weir – Director, Flax & Teal and Open UK
• Rhoda Kerins – Manager, Irish Open Data Unit 
• Gar Mac Criosta – Product manager, HSE 
• Tim Willoughby – Head of digital services and innovation, Garda Siochana
• John Whelan – ICT research commercialisation manager, Trinity College Dublin
