This event is to showcase a newly developed clinical co-pilot that is being trialled on one of our wards. The co-pilot, called Memori, is supporting the early detection of deterioration in adults with complex brain injury. These patients may not be able to tell us that they are feeling poorly so we can only rely on observations to detect deterioration. Being able to detect deterioration early means acting early to stop the infection. This is particularly important in this vulnerable population where any infection can negatively impact their rehabilitation and their quality of life. We will demonstrate the co-pilot in a very informal way to enable a wide audience to access this event. Anyone interested in learning how we use data to improve the care we provide to our patients is welcome.
This event is suitable for patients, residents, their friends and families, staff and the general public

The data available about open source projects can feel like a tsunami, but there are ways to make this more manageable by focusing on the metrics that matter for your project. This session will focus on some CHAOSS resources and techniques that you can use to generate meaningful insights about your open source communities along with some examples of how to interpret the data to move beyond analysis and find tangible ways to make improvements. This will be an interactive session with group breakouts where you can discuss how to use these resources and techniques in your open source projects. This event will be run as part of the Turing’s TPS Coffee Chat series and is targeted towards maintainers, open source project leaders, community managers, OSPOs, and anyone who wants to improve the health of open source projects.
This event is suitable for anyone who is part of an open source project

Empowering People in Data will be a hybrid event (central London and online) that draws together a broad range of organisations from across London and beyond that consider using data as critical to their success and realise the need to enable more people to work in data focused careers.
The morning workshop will focus on sharing/mapping approaches from across London to developing data and AI skills. We will start with some lightning presentations before participants discuss and share in small groups on possible opportunities, challenges and goals for the future. The afternoon workshop will focus on the data professionals workforce and the People in Data project. We will start with a diverse panel of speakers who will talk about their experience of working in data and the need for capacity building in this community and highlight some of the current challenges. We will then have small group discussions about: Who are the People in Data?, What skills and competency work, or training development have you done in this area or know of?, What are the main challenges of working in a data focused role?
We will end the day with a social networking hour to promote collaboration between this diverse range of attendees. The event is free to attend in person or online, and attendance can be all day or morning or afternoon only.
This event is suitable for data professionals, those who manage data professionals and anyone interested in a career working in data.

Neighbourly Lab, in collaboration with the High Streets Data Service and partners are working with Haringey residents to explore local high streets with data. By getting out and about with community researchers to ask the questions that matter to them (with e.g. shopkeepers, other residents, tourists), the project will surface timely insights about how local communities experience their high streets. This qualitative research will build on existing in-depth quantitative data on business trends and the local retail offer, to capture what life looks like on Haringey’s high streets. In doing so, the research initiative will also explore how to democratise access to and usage of civic data and how seemingly difficult to navigate data can be leveraged by residents to understand more about their communities.
This event is suitable for Haringey residents.

London has emerged as a global hub for AI, boasting a thriving ecosystem of tech startups and world-class universities. This positions the UK’s capital at the forefront of AI development, with over 1,000 AI companies based in the city. These companies are reliant on training data to function effectively. However, tensions have been growing between content creators and AI developers due to concerns over the use of copyrighted material in training datasets.
Publishers and creators with image, text, music and even video find that their content scrapped without permission for training AI models. This is then used to generate works in their style or likeness often without proper attribution, consent or compensation. High profile cases such as the “eerily similar” voice of Scarlet Johansson’s in OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a recurring example. AI companies also need access to high quality training data to create even better models and remain competitive. Is licensing and revenue share for training data the solution?
It is crucial for creative content creators to understand on how to navigate the issue of protecting their data content and receiving fair compensation through data licensing. In this session hosted by Valyu, a data provenance and licensing platform, we will answer some pressing questions regarding:
There will be a panel discussion involving a diverse group of industry experts in music, content creation, academia, AI, and policy followed by an active Q&A session with the audience to answer any questions. We will also host a workshop on finding ways for how AI companies can work with content creators and responsibly use their data. The event will conclude with a networking session with the panel members and the audience, light refreshments will be provided.
This event is suitable for a general audience.

HUMAN-CENTRED, ARTS-FOCUSED, BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE CAPTURED IN THE MOMENT
Step into ‘Your Moment’ powered by The Lαβ where we fuse science with creativity and personal reflection. We delve into the fascinating realm of brain waves, allowing you to have a glimpse into of your mind while you engage in your chosen meaningful moment.
We use a lightweight EEG headset which gives you freedom to explore your experience. Portability allows you to move freely and privately at the venue space. The headset empowers you with real-time insights, fostering a deeper connection with your own mind. We won’t record any data unless asked to in which case it will be anonymously and securely stored for your protection if you do decide to explore your own data deeper. Your data can be deleted on request.
Previous moments that people have asked us to explore include scanning their brain waves while listening to music, singing, dancing, meditating, and playing an instrument. Your moment doesn’t have to be artistic, it’s whatever moment is meaningful to you.
Each pop-up session will be 20 minutes. The first five minutes will be about helping you settle in, to hear about the purpose of The Lαβ, and help you to familiarise yourself with the headset. If you’re still happy at that point, we will move on to capturing ‘Your ‘Moment’ for ten minutes. The final five minutes will be about rounding the session up and answering any questions you may have.
Spaces are limited and registration is required. We will send you a confirmation email to introduce ourselves.

Memes, often characterized by their humorous and viral nature, have become a widespread form of online expression, shaping the way we engage with and understand contemporary issues. This workshop explores the immense potential of memes as an informative and transformative tool for critical data literacy through an intersectional feminist lens. It will provide a collaborative space for participants to co-create memes for various aspects of critical data literacy.
In this workshop, we will delve into how memes; an online medium that has been predominantly driven by and amplifying the voices of patriarchal norms and communities, can be adopted to challenge the inequalities in access to data literacy, introduce feminist perspectives to the data and amplify underrepresented perspectives by actively creating memes and contributing to the critical data literacy meme archive. The event is pay as you wish.
This event is suitable for anyone with an interest in feminist data literacy
