The Upstate Data Summit will bring together municipal government officials from across Upstate New York to showcase innovative uses of data and open data publishing. It will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about how other Upstate governments are using data, and how governments new to open data and data-driven decision making can get started with data programs of their own.
