Open Data Workshop - Okotoks - Nov 24

MISA Prairies is hosting a FREE Open Data workshop on November 24, in Okotoks, Alberta.

The purpose of the day- long event is to provide participants with the tools they need to understand and implement open data for their organizations. Workshop sessions will be very flexible with the first 10-15 minutes of each session spent on sharing specific municipal experiences on a topic, and then opening up the floor to questions and further discussion. Each session will be facilitated by municipalities that have already embarked on their open data journey, to enable others to learn from their experiences and then ask questions specific to their organization. The morning sessions will focus on creating the business case for open data, with a high level overview on steps to implement. The afternoon will focus on the process of creating open data, and ensure issues around security, legalities and risk are identified and discussed as well. Time will also be included during the day for people to connect with one another and create contacts with whom they can work with in the future. The organizing committee has had really strong support from our Prairies community for this event. We are excited about bringing people together to assist them on their journey towards open data, and in usual MISA Prairies style, it will be a lot of fun too
