Hi all,

So fare we have received 17 amazing applications from countries including: Germany, Brazil, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Peru, Italy, Uruguay, Malaysia, USA, Philippines, South Africa, France, Bulgaria, Paraguay, Hungary and Hong Kong.

This is exciting and I am already looking fwd this session. 

If you will be coming to the OGP Mexico event and your country is not already represented, this is the time to add yourself to the list:

It provides a unique opportunity to get updates from open data practitioners sharing their experience. The 60 minutes session will host up to 20 country updates providing a unique and very fast overview on what is happening around the world, surfacing unknown stories and unveiling trends. You will love it!
