Upstate Data Summit

The Upstate Data Summit will bring together municipal government officials from across Upstate New York to showcase innovative uses of data and technology. It will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about how Upstate governments are using data, and how governments new to open data and data-driven decision making can get started with data programs of their own.

Upstate Data Summit

This event will feature speakers from Upstate governments that have adopted policies and practices around the use of data, and will highlight lessons learned from these leaders and tips on getting started.

The event will be held on June 6th in Syracuse, NY on the campus of Syracuse University.
