Join us on this educational, day-long event to learn about the wide variety of useful and interesting datasets freely accessible from the City of Winnipeg Open Data Portal.

There will be presentations by the City of Winnipeg Open Data managers and Data Scientists showcasing new & interesting datasets, and innovative ways to access, analyze and transform Open Data into value-added data products.

Learn how to programmatically access Open Data via API's, and see live demonstrations of using various LLM-powered chatbots and AI tools to analyze and summarize Open Data.
