Learning at the City of Portland 2023 open data day - presentations
Open Data Day presentations
Open data is a way in which governments can become more transparent and trustworthy. For a third year, the City of Portland celebrated open data day by sharing how data plays a role in decision making. The open data team invited experts to share ideas, lessons, and projects to Portlanders.
This year’s celebration of open data day happened in March with two main events: public presentations on March 22 and an Open Data Disco Tech on March 25. The open data disco tech was a hands-on event inviting the public to work using the City’s open datasets.
