Data + Donuts with Edwin Rodarte and Andy Vuong of the LA Public Library

Data + Donuts is a morning speaker series and networking event that brings together the makers and doers changing local government from the ground up by harnessing technology and data to drive meaningful change. It is a joint, collaborative effort between the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, and the local L.A. civic technology community.

This month, Edwin Rodarte and Andy Vuong of LAPL will discuss special data projects ongoing at the LA Public Library.
