GOVTalks Fall 2015: Data

On November 11, 2015, GOVTalks attendees learned about data visualization, civic hacking, Google Analytics, and more. We heard examples from the public and private sector. From local and state views. From citizen and public servant perspectives. It was a well-rounded day of all things data.
