A festival of data innovation
running across Scotland
Data Summit 2022 - Save the Date!
3 & 4 November 2022
Looking back on DataFest
DataFest showcases Scotland’s leading role in data science and artificial intelligence on the international stage, while offering an unparalleled networking platform for local and international talent, industry, academia and data enthusiasts.
"It was a fantastic event in so many ways. In terms of event management we were impressed (loved the lightning talks- great prompt for students to then approach stands) And the workshops were useful. I had some great conversations and have followed up with lots of new contacts who are keen to engage in other ways."
Alison Parkinson, University of Edinburgh Careers
"DataTech was a fantastic experience for me - it was a great opportunity to learn about some of the cutting-edge work being done in data science in Scotland, the UK and around the world. I particularly appreciated the amount of time given for meeting and chatting with people. I made some great contacts who I expect to be in touch with long after the event."
Debbie Bard
"What I love about DataFest is that it's utterly authentic - driven by people who want data and AI to be put to the best possible use, attended by those who want to connect with others on this mission. It is also shedloads of fun."
Maggie Philbin OBE
"Data-driven innovation has the potential to deliver great benefits to Scottish businesses and our economy more widely. Scotland has a highly skilled workforce with great strengths in areas such as data and digital, and investors are increasingly seeing us as an attractive location for growing their business. I’m very pleased that DataFest is bringing these opportunities to people across the country and bringing an international audience to Edinburgh for another successful Data Summit"
First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon
