Dinner & Data: Making Technology and Innovation Work for Social Impact

This fall, the I School is hosting a series of five seminar-style conversations, led by experts in technology, data science, and social sector innovation.

We hope that the series will encourage discussion among those working in the field on how the public sector and civil society can leverage data and technology to address critical social issues.

The series will be open to a limited number of I School students, faculty, staff, and visiting scholars and invited social innovators.

Dinner will be served.
