Institute for Government reposted this
Some news about Data Bites… After 5 years, 49 events, 199 presenters, five PMs, 10 Cabinet ministers for data in govt & more bad jokes than any of us would care to remember, Data Bites is leaving Institute for Government I’m delighted to say it has a new home with… Public Digital! I’m thrilled to be taking Data Bites to PD 😊 Our first event – the 50th overall – will take place at 6pm on Wednesday 6 November, at Broadway House (opposite St. James’s Park tube). You can sign up here: https://lnkd.in/egbbMTgZ You’ll also need to sign up to the new mailing list: https://lnkd.in/eR7QngVB I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at IfG who’s helped make Data Bites such a success, particularly events teams past and present; comms and marketing; and ops, facilities and security (who had to chuck us out on a few occasions…) Particular thanks too to presenters Alice Lilly and Thomas Pope and of course to Pritesh Mistry David Tripepi-Lewis and the partnerships team, without whom the series simply would not have been able to continue, and our a/v supremo Neil Bowerman who took us into, through and out of lockdown with polish and aplomb. Thank you! A huge thank you as well to all 199 of our brilliant speakers – when we kicked off the series in April 2019, I couldn’t have imagined we’d still be going and that is very much thanks to them (or for some of you, you!) https://lnkd.in/e-KP3GTQ Thanks to all of our sponsors as well – who engaged fully in the spirit of the event and have helped keep us going for so long, and of course… …a massive thank you to you, the audience!
