Los Angeles Times Data Desk Wednesday, November 4, 2015 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM (Doors open at 3:00 PM) Milken Institute 1250 Fourth Street Santa Monica, CA 90401 For as long as there have been governments, there has been government data. From census information to climate statistics, governments all over the world have been collecting data to help them perform all manner of administrative duties. Simply put, data is information. Through surveys, monitoring, and statistical analysis, governments gather relevant data from innumerable sources and use it to decide how to govern. With the passage of two key bills in the last legislative session, California policymakers are beginning to recognize the benefits that "open data"- making previously unpublished government information available - can have on both govemment effectiveness and private-sector job creation. Join the Milken Institute and the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, November 4, as we explore the possibilities of open data with some of California's most forward-thinking officials and business leaders. How can open data enhance the way Californians interact with their government? What is the next game-changing business model that can only be made possible through opening access to government data? How can city, county, and state officials prepare for new laws that require the publication of massive quantities of data? EFTA00639205 Register Here Unable to attend?
