Whether you’re a student just embarking on a career or a seasoned data professional, this group is for you. We want to connect and inspire amazing data women with diverse expertise and experience.

For our September 2023 event, we will hear from Tristi Tanaka, Chief Medical Office Directorate, NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board, about "Sense Making in the Emerging Age of AI Transformation", and network with other women in data!

Title: Sense Making in the Emerging Age of AI Transformation

Abstract: This talk will explore the challenges facing every day people- from a health and care perspective - in light of widespread public sector digital transformation. Vital to the success of this transformation is the evolving role of data and analytics professionals in a time where 'AI transformation' promises to speed up the delivery of solutions to all of our pressing problems. We peek under the hood at some of the challenges facing data professionals: data literacy for 'patient activation', digital inequalities, funding, varied workforce and leadership readiness and an emergent change of the goalposts to professionalising - entry, transition and progression.
