Event Details

From Google Analytics to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, we have more and more data at our fingertips and less and less time to do anything meaningful with it.

If you're an arts & culture professional curious about the 'data' side of life, this session is for you.

Creative data specialists Patternmakers have mined the biggest and best datasets for juicy insights about Australian community attitudes, creative careers, arts participation, funding and impact. They have done the hard yards so you don't have to spend hours sifting through research reports or learning advanced Excel formulas. 

In this jam-packed session, your friendly data gurus Tandi Palmer Williams and Brooke Boyce uncover the top statistical trends that arts, culture & creative professionals NEED to know.

Indulge your inner geek and challenge the numbers, find out about data sources you can use, and chat with like-minds about where the arts & culture sector is heading. You'll walk away with a mini-arsenal of facts and figures that you can use to strengthen your creative work and enhance your decision-making capabilities.

This event has a very limited capacity, so secure your seat early and prepare for an entertaining, social and a little bit nerdy night of numbers.
