About the Conference
Location: Hartford Marriott Downtown, 200 Columbus Blvd, Hartford, CT 06103
As access to reliable federal data becomes less certain, it is more important than ever for Connecticut’s nonprofits, state agencies, and foundations to build resiliency by strengthening Connecticut’s data ecosystem. This year’s conference will provide attendees with ideas and practical data skills that lead to stronger data practices, ensuring that Connecticut residents and policymakers have the information necessary for their work, despite federal efforts to reduce access to public data.
Through keynotes, panels, and hands-on sessions, participants will learn how to:
Improve data governance, security, and quality.
Implement collection practices that work in real-world settings.
Create efficiency through data management best practices.
Collect reliable data that can be linked to other datasets to understand long-term program impact.
Engage communities in the creation and communication of data.
We hope to see you there!
