This week, the Code for America Summit (CfA) 2015 kicks off. As I prepared to attend, I thought of the many CfA staff, fellows, and alumni who are active on Twitter. So, if you're interested in open government and what some of the brightest and most creative minds in the space are talking about, consider following some of these people on Twitter. I decided to also included some of the speakers attending the conference this year.

To follow the conference from Twitter, use the #cfasummit hashtag. All of the talks from the main stage will be live streaming at cfasummit.org.

Code for America 2015 is from September 30 to October 2 in Oakland, California.
