Taking open data to the next level in New Zealand


Open Source Open Society Conference - 16-17 April Wellington

How can open source thinking help us take data to the next level?

The upcoming OS//OS conference will be a huge 2 days of inspiring brain food, practical workshops and chances to connect over coffee with a passionate community of people interested in what the world looks like when it is a more open place.

If you’re working with government policy or data and keen to understand how open source principles can change the game - then OS//OS is your opportunity to connect with people leading the way and dive deep.

This won’t be your average conference…
