About Data Day

Baltimore Data Day is an annual workshop to help communities expand their capacity to use technology and data to advance their goals. At this 6th Annual Baltimore Data Day, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, governmental entities and civic-minded technologists come together to see the latest trends in community-based data and learn how other groups are using data to support and advance constructive change. Baltimore Data Day is structured around a series of “how to” interactive workshops in which people who work with data will explain what data is available, where to find and access data, and how data can be actionable for communities.

This conference has been organized by the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance-Jacob France Institute in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the with generous support from the Office of the Provost at the University of Baltimore, Baltimore Collegetown Network, BBVA, Enterprise, and the Abell Foundation.
