💜 Colourful Data Career Session with Tanya Smith

Careers in data rarely follow a straight line. Join Tanya Smith for a candid look at the unexpected turns and genuine exciting moments that have shaped how to make sense of information that matters.

Have you ever wanted to hear about the up and downs of a career in data? Wondered about the good, the bad and perhaps a bit of the ugly side of working in data? See the bright and shiny instead of just the dull facts? What can go wrong, what can go right, and how to avoid the pitfalls that others have fallen into?

This is the event for you! Come along and learn from someone else's lessons, so you can avoid the scars and come out smelling like roses instead!

Because careers in data are rarely greyscale ✨
