Ah. You could have dropped anchor and come ashore too. I'm sure (shore?) there'll be more, so it'd be good to see you at a future one..!

Haha the whole event was like a flashback! Plenty of the OG OD crew there.

Panel now at #PowerOfData. Turning plans into progress. Really good discussion. On quality of data - Paul Downey saying (wrt planning data) the data is the 'the thing', eg a passport is the entry in the passport database, not the passport. Kind of like the opposite of the map is not the territory.

And now @jenitennison.com (legend of #PowerOfData gone by) talking about public attitudes to data. Here's why this is important (risks and benefits)

Those figures from a @tpximpact.com -commissioned survey - more data to come out of that soon

Bill with stats from a poll of public attitudes to government use of personal data.

And now it's Bill Roberts (#PowerOfData godfather) talking about @tpximpact.com's State Of Data paper that's being released today!

Tom Smith from MHCLG talking about the point where policy meets data. Always love hearing Tom talk, and his slides are chock full of fantastic images, maps, and visualisations. #PowerOfData

There's a tag for this - #PowerOfData. Follow along!

Amazing - thank you for this!

Ah thanks Andy - great to see you here too! I've really missed what twitter used to be, and snooping around this place it does feel like the good times are about to roll again..!

And hello to you! Thank you for (at first impression) providing a lovely, fun, and useful place to be..! 🙇‍♂️
