We like to meet!
There are three types of events listed here:
- regular meetups we organise every 3 weeks (or more frequently!) to get the community together, keep the conversations going, and cover topics of general interest;
- full-day events: a hackothon or conference to push the envelope, get knee-deep and drive enthusiasm for open data
- open data-related events in Hong Kong: we’ll showcase such events here.
Add your event
- Leave the details at the bottom of this page or email the details to: info@opendatahk.com
- Create a Google Calendar event and send an invite to dougbastien@gmail.com
