Data Days is an annual conference centered around using data to build community and promote civic engagement in Northeast Ohio. Leaders, experts, and data-enthusiasts present innovative uses of data with a focus on action in social justice, research, and policy. Community Solutions participates each year and often presents; this year our staff are leading three sessions.

8:30am – 4:00pm, post-conference reception at 4:00pm
Cleveland Public Library – Louis Stokes Wing

In these times of mis- and disinformation, coming together around actionable, accurate data is more important than ever. With sessions catered to those interested in community building (with or without a data background), and beginner, intermediate, and experienced data users, there is something for everyone and all are welcome.
