Have you ever wondered how the police keeps us safe during big policing events, when everything seems very busy and crowded? If so, please come and join us for a Lunch and Learn session, where we dive into the world of policing data with one of the Senior Data Analysts from MPS. 

We will be covering subjects like:
-    Deriving insights from heterogenous data sources.
-    Data quality challenges in fast-paced delivery situations.
-    Creating actionable visualisations aimed for non-technical audiences.
-    How to create adaptive reports, allowing everyone to understand the narrative. 

This session covers the technology and techniques which utilise spatial data to understand large scale climate risk as an insurance company. We will also hear from a data governance associate about her journey into data from a science background.

Come along to a series of interactive, lightning-style talks followed by Q&A where you will learn how advanced Data and AI techniques are being applied in the used-car industry, hosted by Motorway, the UK’s fastest growing used car marketplace. As a leading tech company in this space, our experts have championed the use of GenAI and Computer Vision to help make it easier for customers to profile their cars and would love to share their top tips for how you can embark on a similar journey.

This will be followed by an evening of networking accompanied by pizza and drinks where you can meet the team and connect with fellow Women in Data across a range of industries. We are also hiring for a number of roles across our data and tech teams, so please feel free to have a chat with us if you might be interested in learning more.

We will also be offering in collaboration with Women in Data® one ticket to the flagship conference for the winner of networking bingo. 

For decades, data gaps have exacerbated global inequalities, hindering progress in critical areas like social justice, climate resilience and public health. Snowflake recently announced an initiative with the aim of improving universal access to quality data to empower more people and organisations to make progress on climate, social and health issues.
