This event was timed to coincide with International Open Data Day. The day brought together local government leaders and staff, local organizations, non-profits, businesses, visitors, and community members and was focused on volunteer civic innovation.

We had our biggest turnout ever with over 50 people participating. Thanks to Code Louisville for event hosting and promotions, and for many of its members who attended.

SMART LOUISVILLE
Smart Louisville is a partnership with Louisville Metro government. We modeled our initiative after Smart Chicago’s success. Many of the projects at the event were setup and hosted on the brand new Cloud Collaborative platform.
PROJECTS
We self-organized around 6 different projects, most of which the CDA prepped beforehand.
