July 25 – 26, 2023

Amazon Skills Center, 1550-G Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202

Registration is now open for the early bird rates for the 2023 APDU Annual Conference. There are a limited number of seats so get registered early!

Public data doesn’t need to just refer to the federal statistical system: there is a universe of publicly available data coming from a variety of sources including state and local governments and nonprofits. There is an opportunity to unlock the value of public data by examining its multidimensionality across federal, state, and local levels. Come to APDU’s 2023 Annual Conference to explore this expanding universe of public data!

Using Data to Explore the Impact of Green Space on Communities

April 17, 2023

3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

The Massive Data Institute at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy recently hosted a Green Space Data Challenge, which provided participants with an opportunity to create or improve indicators involving green space to better understand and measure community impact. Each project was evaluated by expert judges from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), USDA-Forest Service, Urban Health Collaborative at Drexel University, and the Spatial Analysis Lab at the University of Vermont. Winning efforts will be announced in late March and will share their work with APDU.
