Join us as we bring together nonprofits, start-ups, small businesses, government organizations, philanthropic organizations with data scientists, social entrepreneurs, civic hackers, and community members for a day-long exploration of data— how to use, collect it, visualize it, tell stories with, and more.

Workshops
We've focused on workshops in five key areas— measuring impact, how-to-use data (case studies), dealing with data (from cleaning to visualization), tools (what to use in your data efforts), and ethics & morality (because understanding how data can be used wrongly is as important as understanding data).
We've got some great workshops, including
- Mission Driven Data Collection, Brad James, Beepods
- Leveraging Public Datasets To Drive Social Impact, William Hakizimana, Madpy (Madison Python Meetup)
- Can Artificial Intelligence Be Fair? Egor Korneev, Ordinal Science & Kathy Park, National Council On Crime And Delinquency
- Storytelling: Using Data To Inspire (The Nasa Files), Dr. Richard Barker, Uw-Madison Botany Department
- Increasing The Impact Of Open Data, Kara Kratowicz, City Of Madison
- Visual Data To Drive Action, Mary Michaud, Visualeverage
- Defining Data Matters: Measuring Recidivism, Megan Jones, Wisconsin Department Of Corrections
These are just a few of our workshops. Visit the website for workshop descriptions and to receive updates.
