Data Summit 2017
Utilizing Data for Economic Planning, Development, and the Public Good
- September 15, 2017 • The Mill - Starkville, MS
As we come back together this year, we celebrate our successes and share new tools and information to continue the mission of improving the quality of life for Mississippians. This year’s theme is “Putting Data into Practice: Utilizing Data for Economic Planning, Development, and the Public Good.” Sessions will cover a variety of topics, including how data can transform student progress in education, help build “smart cities,” and guide job seekers into fulfilling careers. By the time we part ways again, you will have a better appreciation for the undeniable value of data in economic and education decision-making.
