Data and the Tech of Tomorrow Forum 2021 | Newsco Insider Limited | 20 January 2021 | LIVE

We are in a period of rapid technological evolution – but the impact of data in particular in the coming years cannot be over-stated. The way we handle and manipulate “big data” will impact every element of our daily lives, and for businesses this means both challenges and opportunities. Challenges in building the right technology and teams with the right skillsets to tackle the flood of digital data that is coming our way, as well as major opportunities to find new efficiencies, new pathways to growth and new ways to ensure your products and services marry perfectly with your customers’ needs.

But the impact of data science will also bring major benefits to the wider society – from the ways we tackle climate change to the ways we access health and social care; data science could be key to dealing with a whole range of societal problems, and bring more diversity to our workforce.

In this special Insider Online Forum, we will look closely at the issues around the future impact of big data in our lives and businesses.

The digital panel and audience debate will bring together a range of experts to discuss how we can best tackle data in the coming years, to ask what skills need to be developed in the workforce of tomorrow, and to examine how and why the South West is emerging as a cluster of data science expertise.

There is a lot to discuss in what promises to be a fascinating debate, which will include live questions from the audience for our panel.
