Welcome to the (Data) Party!

Join us to explore how data parties can be used to build a collaborative data culture where everyone’s knowledge and perspective is valued.

Data parties and related tools provide an opportunity for diverse constituents to look at program data together in an engaging and accessible environment. At this event, we will hear from social sector organizations that are using these tools in order to assess their impact and improve services. Join us to explore how data parties can be used to build a more collaborative data culture where everyone’s knowledge and perspective is valued.

The event will also mark the release of a series of Data for Social Impact case studies and worksheets based on the examples highlighted. We will be joined by T’Pring Westbrook and Allison Holmes who will share key takeaways from the newly released Data Party: You Can Transform Your Nonprofit Organization with Data.

Topics include:

• The importance of working collaboratively with data
• Strategies for cultivating a collaborative data culture
• Tools for engaging your team and planning a data party

This is an opportunity to connect, learn from social sector peers, and access new tools that you can share with your organization. Everyone is invited, so bring a friend and come join the party!
