CivicTechYYC November meeting will include guest speaker,
Nichole Wyatt -
Intellectual Property Analyst, Innovation, Data & External Access
at the City of Calgary.
Our next meeting is November 28th, 6:30 - 9pm.
Location:
TBC
We have established a flow for how the events will run. The first 20min will be a presentation on the
Open Data project at the City, followed by Q&A. A quick update on where the projects are at, and an opportunity to pitch new ideas leads into the working group session for the final hour or so. The evening ends with presentations from the groups on where they ended up and what their next steps are. You can find the
list of ideas here and please add your name to one of the working groups if you haven't done so already.
Last month we discussed the Smart Cities project that the City of Calgary is involved in. You can find Monique's presentation here:
We also were informed about the
Smart Cities Challenge, and how Calgary is a contender for a $50Million prize.
