ULA Annual Conference 2025

This workshop is intended to help professionals at all levels understand and put their data to use and enhance their data literacy and analytical skills. No prior experience in data analysis is required. Roughly the first hour of the workshop will be dedicated to sharing best practices, case studies, and success stories to help participants understand the value of the data they collect. Once the basics are covered, participants will be guided through creating goals, and choosing a product to create with their data. Finally, participants will have time to work on their project with guidance from presenters. Ideally, participants will leave this session with an understanding of how data can enhance and enable positive and productive discussions and take home a ready-to-use product of their own design. Participants should bring their own laptops and datasets; discussion, Q&A, and bad jokes will be provided and encouraged throughout the session. Multiple data professionals will collaborate on the presentation.
