Join us for a virtual conference where we will talk about the topics YOU are most interested in.
This month we are bringing back our very popular Unconference format. An unconference is a direct response to the traditional conference structure. Instead of having an expert who shares their knowledge in front of an audience, an unconference is based on the interests of the community, encouraging curiosity and learning through conversation. In this informal gathering, attendees talk, brainstorm, and share resources on a community-chosen topic.
Do you have an idea that you’d like to discuss with other community of practice members? We are looking for facilitators who have a curiosity and desire to learn from others to lead a conversation. You do not need to be an expert, only curious! Please reach out to Jackie at jackie@ctdata.org if you are interested!
About this group:
We are a group of data users in Connecticut who are supporting one another as we work toward more equitable data practices. We focus on racial equity explicitly but not exclusively.
Some of the topics we talk about include:
How can we make sure we don't make certain groups invisible through how we disaggregate our data?
How can we learn to focus our attention on the strengths, rather than the deficits, of groups we are seeking to serve or support?
How can we learn from the people who we hope will benefit from our products or services about what their data means to them?
How can we help the institutions that we are part of to be trustworthy so that people will trust us with their information/data?

Please feel free to check out the group. And if it is helpful, please share it!
