Friends: Yesterday the Data Transparency Coalition announced Data Transparency 2013<http://datatransparency2013.org>, the first U.S. federal open data policy conference, scheduled for September 10 in Washington, DC. Jeanne Holm, whose tireless leadership of the eGov IG (and of much, much else) has graciously agreed to be one of our featured speakers. Data Transparency 2013 will bring together legislative-branch and executive-branch leaders in open data for the first time. Until now, legislative initiatives like the DATA Act<http://datacoalition.com/issues/data-act.html>and executive-branch work like Data.gov and the President's Open Data Policy have developed independently. Data Transparency 2013 will feature collaborative breakout sessions on cross-cutting aspects of the federal government's data portfolio - spending, regulation, management, and more - to identify the policy steps needed to open up data in those areas. I hope you all will consider joining us. Registration<http://datatransparency2013.eventbrite.com>is free for government employees and discounted to $25 for nonprofits. Best, Hudson -- Hudson Hollister Executive Director, *Data Transparency Coalition* datacoalition.org facebook.com/datacoalition twitter.com/hudsonhollister datacoalition.blogspot.com
