Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don’t get the attention they deserve.

At this month's event, the 14th in our series, the speakers presented their data projects in an exciting, quickfire format. Each speaker had eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience.

Our speakers were:

Rosalie Marshall, Technical Lead at the Data Standards Authority, on Data standards, assurance and findability
Michael Birtwistle, AI Barometer Lead at the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, on the AI Barometer report
Lisa Stidle, Data Strategy Lead at Hackney Council, on the value of master data in a pandemic
David Read, Senior Technical Architect at the Ministry of Justice, on Data infrastructure at MoJ – the Analytical Platform.

The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Programme Director and Head of Data and Transparency at the Institute for Government.
