Sheffield Data for Good 2.0: The reboot

​The past two and a half years have been tough. And momentum for what we were doing dropped a bit during this time.

​We thought it would be great to get together in person to rethink and reset what Sheffield Data for Good is about, what it focuses on and how it goes about doing things. Come along and help shape the next phase of our existence!

​Everyone is welcome. You don't need to have come before. You don't need to be a 'data expert' at all. You might just be curious to see what it's all about, or you might have strong views on how the city can be doing things to address challenges or promote social purpose through data.

​We very much hope to see you there : )
