• Inactivity is a real challenge - 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men are classed as physically inactive. Making it easier for people to find and get involved in physical activity is one way of addressing this problem.
• The Open Data Institute are working to make this happen by making data about physical activity opportunities more openly available.
• Opening up timetable, location, and availability data means that leisure operators, gyms and other activity providers can reach customers in new ways.
• This session will take you through the work of this community-led initiative, the impact that open data can have on your business, how you can join, and who else is involved
