Events/Venue List

Local knowledge is priceless. It often helps to have people on the ground in the country where an event is being organised so that they can negotiate a deal. E.g. for Open Government Data Camp 2011, we partnered with Centrum Cyfrowe who dealt with logisitics while we dealt with publicity, invites and content. = Venue preparation checklist =
