2 BIG days to push forward open government in New Zealand

2 BIG days to push forward open government in New Zealand


Open Source Open Society Conference - April 16-17 2015, Wellington

What does a truly open society look like? What happens when we apply the principles of open source technology to government, data and democracy?

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 dive deep.

This won’t be your average conference…

Learn from the best.
Github have been working with the White House to help drive their open government processes - hear about what they've learned from Ben Balter, head of open government.

Learn how we're poised to lead the world from Keitha Booth Manager of NZ's Open Data program.

Dive into a mini ‘GovHack’ session led by local legend Miramar Mike - and get a taster of the upcoming GovHack this July.

Connect.
This won't be a just a talk-fest. As well as inspiring keynote speakers like Sasha Meinrath, you'll have plenty of time to connect with other participants and contributors, ask questions of the speakers and find places to breathe out and relax over coffee in the breakout spaces if you choose.
