Here’s your opportunity to join a hybrid discussion with members of the U.S. federal government and civil society involved in advancing open data principles, hosted by the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) Open Government Secretariat, the Federal Chief Data Officers (CDO) Council, the Data Foundation (a nonpartisan organization that conducts research, collaborative thought leadership, and advocacy programs to advance practical policies for the creation and use of accessible, trustworthy data), and the Open Gov Hub (a coworking and event space that works to bring together like-minded organizations that are focused on government Transparency, Accountability, and Civic Participation).
This gathering will be both informational and participatory and will include speakers from federal agencies, civil society, and the general public. The goal is to provide attendees with the opportunity to learn and share feedback and ideas on the U.S.’s open data efforts.

Data Foundation Public Participation Forum Update
We've canceled our Public Participation Forum originally planned for May 2nd. However, there's a great alternative.
The White House Office of Management and Budget, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Open Government Secretariat are hosting a listening session on the same topic, on May 2nd, from 1:30-3:00 PM ET. This session offers a chance to learn about the OMB's PPCE framework and share your insights.
We highly recommend registering for the Open Government Secretariat’s listening session here:
We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to future opportunities to discuss public participation with you.
