Data has emerged as an indispensable resource for government, academia, business, and civil society.

To unlock its true potential, data must be open: interoperable, machine-readable, and available for all, The U.S. government is poised to transform its spending information into open data.

Congressional legislation like the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, President Obama’s Open Data Policy, and the recommendations of the Government Accountability and Transparency Board will bring about the comprehensive standardization and publication of the government’s spending information.

Join us April 29 for the first Data Transparency Summit, which will convene leaders from Congress and the executive branches to explore this transformation. Hosted by the Data Transparency Coalition and presented by PwC, the summit will work towards a common vision for implementing the DATA Act and achieving full transparency across all domains of federal spending data.

That’s April 29 at the Union Market in Washington, D.C. To register and for more information,click here
