Open-data Cities Conference
The Open-data Cities Conference took place in Brighton and Hove on Friday, April 20 2012.
The high-profile conference – the first of its kind in the United Kingdom – was attended by more than 150 people and focused on how publicly-funded organisations can engage with citizens to build more creative, prosperous and accountable communities.
In a busy schedule, speakers were:
There are pictures of all the speakers – thanks to Andrew Hasson - plus pictures in the auditorium and outside.
You can also read about their contributions, thanks to Adam Tinworth (@adders), who has written about it comprehensively on One Man and His Blog.

Links to other coverage and my own reflections will be published over the next few days.
