Luke Spikes said: “Spikes Cavell became an active participant in
the world of open data with the launch in May 2010 of
spotlightonspend - a managed online transparency solution that
leverages the company’s data transformation and management
expertise to make it straightforward and inexpensive for public
bodies to publish information about their spend on goods and
services. spotlightonspend makes public sector spend data more
relevant, meaningful and easier for citizens to understand. Already
deployed by more than 50 public bodies in the UK, the first US
public agency (the City of Naperville, IL) went live with
spotlightonspend in June 2012. I look forward to sharing the
platform with Todd, Dan and Theresa and sharing the benefit of our
experience delivering value from open data.”
The second International Open Government Data Conference (IOGDC)
is a result of collaboration between Data.gov and the World Bank
and will be held on July 10-12, 2012, in Washington D.C. at the
World Bank Headquarters at 1818 H Street NW. The IOGDC will gather

demonstrate the power of democratizing data. The IOGDC brings
together the world's foremost experts on open government data. From

dynamic discussion around the historic opportunity presented by
open government data to foster collaboration, transparency, and
interactive public participation. There is no cost to attend, but
