This will be a stimulating and interactive side event. It calls for a broad spectrum of actors; from civil society but also from international organizations and government. Participation will come from official but also private and civic actors belonging to the international statistical and geospatial community. It will portray projects of all scales actively attempting to solve how to integrate and make available geo-spatial and statistical data within the framework of the data revolution that the 2030 agenda for sustainable development promotes. The question whose answer this event expects to inspire is how to share and produce more and better data in the context of Latin America and the Caribbean considering the contributions of civil society.

Goal: To present constructively, from the view point of civil society, ideas and experiences that contribute to solving the technical challenges that will naturally arise when seeking to share geospatial and statistical data, supporting the generation of the indicators of the 2030 agenda.

Format: A speedgeeking session will be developed, an  innovative participation process that quickly arranges a series of scheduled presentations in a short period of time (10 mins each) in a circular and simultaneous way, as if it were a "visit to a museum" where the paintings are live performances and a short time is available to appreciate each of them. It implies an active participation of the assistants and a structure of "islands" or circular stand alone outlay.

Target audience: Governments, international organizations, experts in statistics and geospatial data, other organizations from the civil society working with data.
