The Participedia Partners Conference 2024 would not have been possible without the incredible continued support of our community. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Fiona Anciano, Babongile Bidla, and team of Politics of Urban Governance Research at the University of the Western Cape for warmly welcoming us to South Africa. Thank you to all who joined us, from near and far. We are already looking forward to our next Partners Conference in 2026!
