What’s in it for Data Architects?
DataConnect21 is an important opportunity for us to champion foundational data specialisms such as data architecture, metadata, data modelling and data engineering for successful data sharing and data use across government and the public sector.
We've lined up a series of events with key people from across government including Alison Pritchard, Deputy National Statistician at ONS, Tom Read, Chief Executive Officer of Goverment Digital Service, Paul Wilmott, Chair of the Central Digital and Data Office. Tomas Sanchez Lopez, Chief Data Architect at Office for National Statistics will be chairing an event with Sarah Burnett, Chief Data Architect at Defra and Lisa Allen, Head of Consultancy for Data Programmes at the Open Data Institute.
There are also sessions on data architecture, metadata, data engineering, business glossaries, data sharing and much more. We'll also have a special cross-Government Data Architecture Community meetup - find out more about this cross-gov Community and how you can join. GDAC is open to anyone working in a data architect or related role across government and the public sector.
DataConnect21 is open to all government, Local Government and public sector staff regardless of grade – we welcome everyone with an interest in data. That includes senior leaders, data architects, engineers, modellers, delivery managers, developers, product owners and related professions. This is our most dynamic and ambitious data event yet so we’d like you to encourage your colleagues, or anyone you’re working on a data project with to attend.

Such events are very important for the exchange of knowledge, so that more experienced employees would then apply to vacancies like this one https://jobgear.uk/Data-Engineer_job
