Protocols in Practice: Building Better Data and Infrastructure Standards

This one-hour course on protocols for the water industry related to data, infrastructure, and standards is for anyone curious about starting a data modernization project and those that have already started. The tools developed by Summer of Protocol (SoP) through rigorous research across industries will help you lay the foundation for improving workflows and getting your initiatives to the finish line.

Our speakers include Patrick Atwater with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, whose team is already benefiting from a similar seminar conducted earlier this year and Timber Stinson-Schroff, who manages SoP and writes about safety+strategy at Blundercheck.

SoP is a program focused on studying protocols in a broad sense—from handshakes to climate accords to internet protocols—to improve how we design and manage them. SoP has published nearly 100 essays and projects on protocols and over 100 hours of video content, including a self-serve online course.
