[DATAGOV Core] Invitation to DATAGOV Kick-off Event on March 27, 2026 (Amsterdam)

[Giulia Campaioli]

Hey Meg,

sorry for only getting back to you know.

A few tiny details. In the second paragraph, "The kick-off will feature 
keynotes, workshops, and a borrel, bringing together.." I would get rid 
of workshops, since we do not have any workshop for the public event.

Also, "a diverse group of participants from academia, policymaking, 
industry, civil society, and the arts" I would definitely get rid of 
"the arts" as we don't really have any artist speaker or performance 
planned, and possibly also industry, or do we have someone from industry?

I cannot open the files! If they are the flier, they should go together 
as one pdf, not two separate files :)

Thank you!
Best
