Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon)** (2007-2013)

Open Government Data Camp (OGDCamp; 2010-2012)**

The Open Government Data Camp (OGDCamp) is an event bringing together civil servants, developers, NGOs and others for two days of talks, workshops and project sprints around open government data. The camp had four key objectives: build consensus, around core open data principles and values; build community, expanding and strengthening the international open data community; share ideas, on the future of open data and how we can do things better; make things, from starting projects, to making plans and writing code.
In 2012 OGDcamp merged together with other topics and turned into what is OKFestival today.
