Early Registration Now Open: 2023 APDU Annual Conference

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!
