Join us for a free, practical introduction to place and audience data for people working in and with local authorities, place-based partnerships, and cultural networks and consortia.

With growing demands from funders and stakeholders for evidence-based decisions, places are increasingly required to make clearer, more confident choices. This exchange is designed to show how this can be achieved in practice. We will explore the nuances of National, Local, and Hyperlocal (street-level) data, taking a closer look at their unique characteristics and applications.

We will:
Talk about what data exists, where it is, and what the limitations are.
Share how data can be used to support decision-making for strategy and funding, programme design and engagement.
Open the floor for discussion: We would like to hear from you. What are you working on? What are you looking for help with or interested in?

You don't need to have experience with data or our work. The focus of this series is on shared learning, practical insight, and support.

Who is the event for?

Local authority officers working across culture, regeneration, planning, economy or communities

Members of place-based partnerships, consortia and networks

Arts, cultural, heritage and creative organisations involved in place-based work
