We’re thrilled to announce the first Data Talk for Fall 2025, and it's going to be another incredible event!
In a world that is increasingly driven by black box models, economic uncertainty, and hyper-scale machine learning centers…
How do we determine if our work is making a difference, and how do we determine if that’s even the right question to be asking?
Join Nick Couture (P.Eng) of Climate Paradigm Collaborative for a human-centered take on the data profession. This talk weaves together systems engineering, data analysis, ecology, psychology, and cultural studies to explore how we relate to mass-information in the epoch of the Anthropocene.
Attendees will be invited to engage with a new kind of code library which serves to re-connect what we do as professionals to shared humanity and the living world.
Expect vulnerability, big picture insights, and practical takeaways for data professionals navigating burnout, uncertainty, moral ambiguity in within data science.
Whether you're a data professional, AI enthusiast, or simply curious about how tech is transforming our world, this is the perfect opportunity to:
Learn from industry experts 📚
