Open government conference to be held in Fredericksburg

The Virginia Coalition for Open Government will hold its annual conference in Fredericksburg on Nov. 12.

It’s a day full of workshops and panels on topics related to open government in Virginia.

This year’s topics include:

• Data collection, body cams and privacy
• The 2015 Virginia elections and what they mean for open government in the Commonwealth
• Databases: Not just a Virginia Supreme Court problem
• “Private” emails and texts: Not just a Hillary Clinton problem
• Getting schooled on access: getting information from public universities isn’t as easy as A-B-C

Our chapter is a sponsor of this conference and we encourage our members to attend.
