In a time of rapid change and rising expectations this one day in-person conference is the must-attend event for senior leaders in education, research and the public sector who have a responsibility for data strategy, AI or institutional transformation. Join your peers in tackling the challenges that are being felt across the sector and be a part of the conversations that will define the landscape of UK education and research for years to come.

Hosted by Jisc, the education and research sectors’ vital partner for data, the conference will focus on data as a strategic asset that drives both impactful change and long-term resilience. The programme is being carefully curated by sector voices and grounded in practical insight. You will go beyond theory to explore data strategy and governance, connect strategic ambition with actionable outcomes and benchmark your institution’s data maturity.

One theme of the conference will be strategic vision and leadership with talks probing how data and AI support long-term thinking, ethical leadership and purposeful innovation. Other presentations will look at intelligent foundations and how infrastructure, processes and governance support sustainable change. Further keynotes and breakouts will address people as the heart of working with data and how to develop and inspire confidence, capability and culture across organisations.
