This one-day conference brings CST’s Data Leaders Professional Community together in person to address the key challenges and opportunities for the sector around the management and use of educational data and how it supports improving outcomes for our pupils.

It has become clear that a data revolution is underway, one that is prompting schools and their leaders to rapidly come to terms with the impact of artificial intelligence. There is no doubt that its potential to improve teaching and leadership is enormous. However, as we are acutely aware, over reliance on systems and technology without the appropriate skills, understanding and governance to match can lead to serious error or worse.

Alongside AI then, we need HW – Human Wisdom. This conference will help delegates understand the cutting-edge use of these newer technologies but also serve as a reminder that a body of knowledge and a personal and professional capacity is important to ensure we truly serve our learners and leaders. Hear how national policymakers and trust leaders are navigating this landscape and enjoy the opportunity to reflect and network with colleagues as you plot your own journey from #datatowisdom.
