Geo:Code 2017 is a series of open data workshops and conversations to connect people who live, work, and govern in Hennepin County. The sessions at Geo:Code are submitted by you. Whether you’re new to a topic or an expert, submit an idea for a session when you register!

Register for Geo:Code

There are two tracks this year: County Camp (a community-led conference) and, as in years past, Code Space for an open hackathon. Participants are welcome to participate in either or both tracks and to switch between tracks during the weekend.

So what’s a Geo:Code – here’s a video that gives more info. Note: it’s not just for coders!
