The Wharton DC Alumni Innovation Summit, April 28-29, 2015

• One of the goals for this year’s summit, our second, is to have more interactive sessions that provide value to the speakers and attendees. To that end, we are hosting several workshops and would welcome a workshop from the Federal Big Data Working Group focused on open data or other topics you would like to recommend. I am very confident that your thought leadership will attract attendees as this is a topic of much interest.
