DEEP DIVES INTO DATA DRIVEN GOVERNMENT
In collaboration with The White House Federal Data In Action Summit, the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) is coordinating four workshops in the afternoon of Dec 15th to bring together data experts across private sector, academia, government and non-profit to discuss key challenges to advance adoption of data science best practices. 
The workshops will focus on: Data Talent, Data-Driven Organizations, Data Sharing, and Data Quality.  Outcomes from the workshops will serve as the foundation for the NTIS ideation forum to take place in early 2017. 
If you are a data science leader in academia, non-profit, or public sector, then please join us in discussing key data challenges and opportunities for advancement.
Following the completion of the afternoon forums, all speakers and participants are invited to a networking event.
