Open Data Day Wellington

Stats NZ, through the Open Data Programme, is leading the work to accelerate the release and reuse of open government data so that New Zealand is maximising the value of data that government holds on behalf of New Zealanders. Open data supports innovation, can lead to positive social and cultural outcomes, and can increase transparency and democratic participation.

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">You're invited to Open Data Day Wellington 2017!</H2>
<A HREF="http://opendataday.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Open Data Day</A> is an annual celebration of open data all over the world. For the 5th time in history, groups around the globe will create local events on this day as they use open data in their communities. It is an opportunity to show the benefits of open data & encourage the adoption of open data policies in government, business and civil society.
Because Kiwis love our nature, our mini-hack day this year will be focussed on environmental data. For some ideas of what that might look like, check out <A HREF="http://opendataday.org/#resources" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://opendataday.org/#resources</A>.
<H3>Who is it for?</H3>
No matter what your skill-sets or interests, this is an event where your input is valued; whether you have an idea for using open data, want to contribute to an interesting project, learn about how to work with or visualise data, or simply see what's happening! Citizens, public servants, designer, developers, artists, storytellers - all are welcome.
No matter your skillset or interests, we are encouraging you to foster opportunities to learn and help the global open data community grow.
All outputs created on the day will be open for everyone to use and re-use. 
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">What to bring</H3>
This is a FREE event - all you need to bring is your own devices and your ideas! We'll provide space, food and WiFi.
