Data Canvas is a partnership between swissnex San Francisco, Gray Area, and Lift Conference.
The first edition of Data Canvas was launched as an international online challenge in 2013 to create innovative visualizations by using public transportation data sets from the cities of San Francisco, Zurich and Geneva, with the goal of strengthening the global open data movement, and engaging governments and citizens around urban questions using data. Since then we have developed the Data Canvas into a media network, online and offline, that promotes public education around civic issues, using data. Our research around public private initiatives in using data results in events, data visualization challenges, and workshops with partners around the world. Please join us.
