Alexander Howard (O'Reilly Media), Peter Clark (Minnesota Population Center), Steve Midgley (US Department of Education)
Open access to information promises to connect citizens to their representatives, improving government transparency and helping educators transform the classroom. In this real-world panel, practitioners in government and the public sector will give us a glimpse into how data and new interfaces are transforming how we teach and govern.

Virginia Carlson (Metro Chicago Information Center (MCIC))
