Konnektiv offers privacy-friendly open source solutions for your online events
One of Konnektiv’s core values is openness: We believe ideas or technologies with social and sustainable impact potential should not be locked up as proprietary knowledge but rather should be open to share.
Therefore, Konnektiv uses open knowledge and open licenses to enable the spread of information. Whenever possible we work with open data, open publication formats, open methodologies, open processes and other relevant knowledge products sharing them under open licenses and making them available on digital channels. We also contribute to discussions on openness for instance through events and meet-ups, public speaking and publications.
Our IT department works with open source software tools and creates open solutions for our clients. We encourage our clients and partners to work with open formats and offer advice on open licenses and open source business models.
Due to the current pandemic, the whole world is adjusting as meetings, workshops and events move digital. With our extensive experience working with digital transformation and our long standing commitment to openness, Konnektiv is positioned to continue offering alternative open solutions for our clients.
In concrete terms, we offer the complete implementation of your online-event (i.e. concept, technical implementation as well as moderation) with the following Open Source and GDPR compliant solutions:
