Don't miss this year's DAN Science Fair!
I'm taking a break from my weekly tips to make the following important announcement:
**The third annual Data Analytics Network Data Science Fair is coming on Tuesday, October 7, 2025!**
This is a FREE in-person event in Arlington, VA, taking place from 3pm-5pm (with a happy hour sponsored by Higher Logic).
The DAN Science Fair features real-world examples of how organizations are leveraging their data to drive operational impact and member benefit. You'll get a chance to connect with fellow data enthusiasts and learn from their innovative projects. And if you want to get even more out of it, you can sign up to present!
I love this event because the presentation theme is "middle school science fair." No fancy PowerPoints or digital presentations. Just classic tri-fold boards with lots of markers, colored paper, and sometimes glitter...
Click here to sign up to attend (and to present!).
I hope to see you there.
