Hello John!

We're starting the year with great news! 🎉

The 2023 CC Global Summit is coming back in person, and will take place in one of the most vibrant and culturally rich cities in the world — Mexico City! 🇲🇽. 

From 3–6 October 2023, we will gather at the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco to unite, share ideas, and create a brighter future for open sharing. We are excited to collaborate with CC Mexico to organize this event, and hope you will be able to join in what will be an unforgettable experience. Head to the CC website to read the full blog post, and keep an eye out for upcoming announcements about summit registration, scholarships, program committee, and call for proposals in our next newsletter, on social media, or by joining CC on Slack. 

Thank you...and don’t forget to mark your calendars! 😊

Sincerely, 

The CC Team 

P.S. Come work with us! 🙂 We're looking for an Open Climate Data Manager (apply by 31 January), an Institutional Giving Manager (apply by 3 February 2023), and a Systems Engineer (apply by 3 February 2023).
