Saturday, March 12

JW Marriott
Room 303-304

Thousands of volunteers use Wikipedia-style platforms to help save lives worldwide. How do how highly collaborative tools allow online volunteers to leverage their collectives brain to be a force in global development operations? We'll discuss examples like: 1) the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team that maps infrastructure damage after a major crisis 2) the Humanitarian Data Exchange which connects the world with humanitarian-related datasets 3) Global Innovation Exchange brings the development innovation ecosystem online.

We'll discuss the advantages of public/govt collaborations in peacekeeping, development, & emergencies, as well as perils surrounding data privacy, data sensitivity & more.
