Fully utilizing infrastructure and community data remains a challenge for organizations, limiting the ability to deliver efficient services and make informed decisions.​ The conference's overall goal is to increase knowledge sharing and awareness of a range of infrastructure and community data products from various sources. There is a wealth of data products, collection, and creation in this area, but with no central, universal resource center to access or be made aware of it. As such the existence of data is often masked or unknown.
