APDU Board Member: Why I Attend the APDU Annual Conference

By: Michelle Riordan-Nold, Executive Director, CT Data Collaborative

At times it seems as if I never leave my seat as I jump from zoom call to a Teams meeting then back on Zoom or into GoToMeeting. During these past 12 months of working virtually during Covid-19, with meetings and webinars seemingly endless and exhausting at times, the APDU conference is the one event I did not miss last summer and look forward to virtually attending again this summer.

Since 2015, I have attended the annual APDU data conference each year. When a conference ends, I want to walk away with ideas I could implement at my organization ? informed about new public data or a research methodology? energizing me to innovate and provide the public we serve with new ways to access and use data. The APDU conference has never let me down which is why I return each year.
