The third Data Analytics Conference hosted free for ACFO-ACAF members as part of the Joint Career Development Program will be taking place on February 5, 2020, at the Shaw Centre in Ottawa with a webcast offered for those unable to attend in-person.

This full-day, hands-on workshop for members new to data analytics will include data visualization and Power BI demonstrations by Patrick Boily from uOttawa and Data Action Lab where participants may optionally bring their own laptops to join along in the exercise. The day will also feature other speakers from the Government of Canada to discuss the innovative ways in which they are using data analytics to fuel creativity and add value in the face of automation and artificial intelligence. Lastly, this is a chance for members to network with their fellow FIs from across the city.
