The annual GC Data Conference, now in its eighth year, is the primary forum for public servants and data leaders to increase awareness, share knowledge, and advance data applications across the Government of Canada.
With the theme of “From Insight to Foresight”, the GC Data Conference 2024 will explore issues and opportunities related to the responsible use of artificial intelligence, data and process automation, and applying human-centred principles to data activities.
Participants will engage in discussions on improving service delivery, policy development, and decision-making to support ethical and equitable data usage, human-centred design, and inclusivity when working with new and disruptive technologies.
This event is delivered through a partnership with Transport Canada and the Canada School of Public Service, with the subject-matter support and expertise of the GC Data Community.
