International Open Data Conference 2015

Come and meet the Latin American Open Data Community. We will provide a short presentation about what we have in stock for our next two major events: 1) Abrelatam and 2) Condatos.

Abrelatam is the regional unconference where the region shares major developments, initiatives and experiences in an unstructured, fun, and open way. This edition is hosted by Ciudadano Inteligente who has been leading the region using open data for accountability and transparency.

CONDATOS is the regional Conference on open data. Experts, government officials, activists, and academics will gather in Chile to discuss the state of open data in the region. Previous work has been laid down to secure a participative and sustainable event. In this edition open data policies and shared initiatives are key part of the event Come and listen to the Government of Chile introducing the basics for the event. This event will have two very short presentations and we would like to hear from you. What do you think we should discuss in Latam? Are you particularly interested in a topic? Have a wild idea? Have a go; it's time to share. Also note that Latin American sweet treats will be served in this session on first come first served basis.
