There’s still time to join people from across the data community to hear about exciting work, best practice and the big challenges in public sector data

DataConnect21 is a week of data events run by teams from across government and the public sector starting on 27 September. We’ve got sessions on data quality, maturity, standards, analysis and many other data-related subjects.

You can see our full programme and sign up for sessions.

From highly technical to highly strategic, from data design through to data sharing, there’s something for everyone.

As part of DataConnect21, the Government Data Quality Hub is running a series of sessions on data quality:

Data Quality Strategies

Thinking about a data quality strategy? Learn more about making the case for your strategy, how to write it and how to keep it alive once it’s published.

Data Quality Assessment

Data Quality Action Plans feature in the Government Data Quality Framework. Find out more about what they are and how they can help you, or join one of our workshops to work through making a Data Quality Action Plan for your data.

Analysis & Statistics

Find out more about a new framework that can help you assess the quality of administrative data in statistics. Working in data analysis? Come to our workshop on what analysts need to know about quality.

Data Collection

Good quality data starts with good design! Let us know what training and guidance would help you with better data collection.

And also…

How can you evaluate the impact of data work? Find out how to overcome some of the challenges you might face and share tips for better evaluation.

What does mature data management look like? Hear from organisations that are using data maturity models and find out more about what’s in development from the Government Data Quality Hub.

These sessions are just the start of what’s on offer in DataConnect21. We have over 200 people planning to attend across the week and we hope you will join us. Sign up now and help to spread the word across your organisation.
