[image: medBanner_bil] A big international open data event is coming, and I hope you can take part! The 3rd International Open Data Conference (IODC) will be held in Ottawa, Canada, from May 28-29, 2015. This conference, sponsored by Canada’s International Development Research Centre, the Government of Canada, and the World Bank, will bring together experts and advocates from around the world to take stock of the rapid evolution of the global open data community and help chart its future. The first two International Open Data conferences drew over 400 participants from Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Italy, Argentina, and many others. We want to surpass the previous conferences, and to do this we will need to have a strong program agenda. To accomplish this we are holding a global Open Call for program content. The Open Call is underway right now and will run until February 20th. Details can be found at *OpenDataCon.org*. You can also visit the site to register for the conference. I am pleased to be able to say there will be no registration fees for the conference and, if you need help with travel, the IDRC and the World Bank will have a limit number of travel bursaries available. We want to make the IODC a truly global conference with a program representative of where the open data community is at today, and where we believe it could be tomorrow. I would appreciate if you could help us spread the word, and of course if you could come and join us in Ottawa in May!
