That's a wrap on Data Matters 2026, a real thought-provoking day with insights and takeaways by the bucketful. Thanks for coming!

A packed afternoon full of fantastic, standing room only, breakout sessions at Data Matters. What has been your highlight this year?

Kicking off the afternoon here at Data Matters is our keynote, Katy Gooblar, identifying with a lot of the audience (look at those hands up!) on leadership habits, culture and sharing how to shape data strategy.

Plenty of food for thought from Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein's opening keynote. Speaking of which... as lunch time approaches don't forget to come by the demo zone for a chat!

@heidifk.bsky.social, CEO, officially welcoming us all to Data Matters. If your ears have already pricked up about the new data community, you can join over on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/groups/16088...

Good morning from Data Matters, where we hope the takeaways will be raining down on you as heavy as the Birmingham weather.

We welcome the Government’s International Education Strategy 2026 and its ambitions for strengthening the UK's global partnerships. Our international support enables providers to operate confidently overseas, and ensure high‑quality, secure, and scalable global education delivery.

Want bold ideas and practical solutions to help shape a future that’s ethical, inclusive and people-centred? Then look no further than the just launched programme for Digifest 2026 👀
