[open-sustainability] 3rd International Open Data Conference 2015

Tue Dec 9 16:29:31 UTC 2014

well, now that the matter has been raised...while some of us do live on the NA side of the pond, Canada is a vast land with little to none rail service for the most part.  Although it does exist in some areas, is antiquated, languishes in both policy and investment, and few use it, most preferring auto or air (however, this is not too unlike global trends: EEA released this report yesterday http://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/more-action-needed-to-reduce) - many crucial areas and opportunities for open data to explore and address perhaps?
great topic, and despite our 'sector' focus, the world of teleconferencing remains largely supplemental to real conferencing, and issues like this are probably best discussed face-to-face at conferences such as this.  Oh hum....So I hope to see a good international representation at the conference to raise these important issues and move them forward.  For those coming distances by air, carbon offsets, and revisiting personal consumption habits is a start, but your presence and contributions to help open data transform policy and infrastructure for sustainability will be your greatest contribution.

| Come and explore a wide variety of open data issues and collaborate on charting the future of open data at the 3rd International Open Data Conference, May 27-29, 2015, in Ottawa, Canada. 

 The global open data movement has matured since the 2nd International Open Government Data Conference held in Washington in 2012. It's time to strengthen coordination among open data initiatives across various levels of government, topics, regions, and sectors. It's time to broaden dialogue to include the voices of experts in sectors that want to use open data and scale-up innovative approaches proven to work. The goal: ensure that all world citizens benefit. 

 The Government of Canada, Canada's International Development Research Centre, and the World Bank invite you to the 3rd International Open Data Conference. From May 27-29, 2015 sector and open data experts, senior government officials, industry leaders, and civil society champions from around the world will gather in Ottawa, Canada to exchange ideas and work together to enable the data revolution. 

Pre-registration is now open. Conference updates will follow in the coming weeks and months. We look forward to seeing you in 2015!
