A special event for Open Data - Blogs lanacion.com

"In June 2016 we held the 4th edition of the Datafest, an event of opening, mining and visualization of public data destined to journalists, communicators, data miners, designers, programmers and specialists from different areas.

The agenda of the meeting included exhibitions of international referents of data journalism, workshops, open seminars and panels on Open Government issues at national, provincial and citizen level. We could count on the participation of Scott Klein, publisher of ProPublica, who shared his experience in the production of news applications and gave a workshop on the history of data journalism.

Another of our international guests was Robin Houston, who talked about Kiln’s work using data to tell stories, concentrating on mapping techniques. Kiln combines skills from web development, data analysis, mathematics, journalism, cartography and graphic design to make complex information engaging, beautiful and interactive."
