Telling Open Data Stories: 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.

Stats NZ

Stats NZ is committed to improving the quality and accessibility of open government data – and accelerating the amount of data being released.
 
We are now running this consultation because we want to gather information on the value and use of open data in New Zealand.
We’re looking for stories from users, and potential users, of open government data: What data are you using? How are you using it? How might you use it in the future?
 
 
Workshop details:
We’ll be holding workshops in Wellington and Auckland. 
Come along to share your thoughts on the potential uses of open data, talk about open data case studies and share lessons learnt.
 
Dynamic facilitators
The workshops will be facilitated by <A HREF="http://randow.co.nz/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dan Randow</A>.
 
Networking
The sessions provide a great opportunity to meet others with an interest in open data – from inside and outside government. 
You’ll have the opportunity to share your views on open data principles and discuss these with others.  
 
Bring a friend?
We want to hear as many voices as possible: feel free to tell people what’s happening and invite a friend or colleague to come along. 
The workshops are for anyone who would like to attend. If you are new to open data, a current user or a government data champion, you’re welcome to join us.
