What is a The Data Lodge (TDL) Mini-Summit?
For the first time, The Data Lodge team is inviting you to join them and members of The Data Lodge Community in this in-person event.
Although the atmosphere will be relaxed and comfortable, the topics and challenges that we tackle will be complex: data literacy programs, relevant data and analytics skills for all employees, building a data culture, managing AI initiatives and expectations, the rise of GenAI. . . and more.
This three-hour event is a rare glimpse into the interactions that we have at The Data Lodge every day - shared challenges, stories of successes, and a deep-seated mission to enable everyone through data literacy.
What You'll Experience:

Enjoy keynote and roundtable discussions about data, AI, literacy, governance, data culture
