Open Data Jam - Building On The City
Learn how open data (open.toronto.ca) works at the City of Toronto, see how businesses operate on and with open data, and meet the people behind both!
We host monthly events where you can find us (the Open Data team), Open Data users and enthusiasts, and dedicated public servants fostering and bolstering open data projects and usage.

Brainstorm and Jam - you'll tell us how the program could be more useful to you, and we'll see how we can help!
Meet Each Other - entrepreneurs, technologists, public servants, and other civic enthusiasts will be in the room - make friends, share learnings, and find opportunities to collaborate!
We'll have some samosas on deck in case you get hungry - see you there!
