What can you expect?
The Data Discovery Centre is home to a mix of live projects across the three days, all of which are working at showcasing practical implementations of data sharing to improve our local transport network.
Much of this work represents hard graft activities happening quietly on the ground, without the fanfare of PR and marketing to bring it to the world’s attention.
This means a visit to the Data Discovery Centre is a rare opportunity for you to observe and explore these projects and get to know the teams delivering them. And with our data sharing, governance, and procurement experts on hand, its the ideal place to help you and your organisation understand and overcome your data-related challenges.
