SUMMARY:North East digital sector: 2023 outlook
DESCRIPTION:The North East’s digital and tech sector is continuing to accelerate despite a backdrop of significant economic headwinds\, with strong inward investment stemming from our fast-paced innovation and global reach. \nIn 2022\, a growing number of international companies demonstrated their confidence in the region by choosing to locate here\, with the likes of Version 1\, Arctic Wolf\, Monstarlab and Credera all creating jobs and growth locally. \nBuilding on this momentum\, Womble Bond Dickinson in partnership with North East Times\, UKTN and Invest Newcastle (part of NewcastleGateshead Initiative) is hosting an event at The Catalyst\, Newcastle Helix on Wednesday 8 February from 9:00am- 1:00pm. \nThe event will include panel sessions to discuss the current state of the region’s tech sector\, recent and upcoming inward investment opportunities and how the North East is leading the way by using digital for good\, whether that be in health and life sciences\, sustainability or wider ESG commitments. \nFull speaker list and agenda to follow in due course.

SUMMARY:Data Insights: Is the data warehouse dead? with Waterstons
DESCRIPTION:The National Innovation Centre for Data presents Data Insights: Is the data warehouse dead?\, with Waterstons.  \n\n\nIs the data warehouse a thing of the past? For over 30 years now\, IT departments within businesses have built monolithic databases that crunch data through the night to populate management reports and such. But the use of data in organisations is changing rapidly – we want to answer more questions more quickly\, and we all just generally want to do more. Can the data warehouse keep up with all of this\, or is it time to explore new tools? \nJoin the National Innovation Centre for Data and Waterstons at The Catalyst on Thursday 16th February from 1.00 p.m. for Data Insights: Is the data warehouse dead?\, a timely and thought-provoking session which will investigate whether data warehouses are becoming a thing of the past and\, if so\, what might be next in data storage solutions for businesses. \nJames Bell\, Head of Data and Analytics at Waterstons\, will be giving the keynote\, Is the data warehouse dead?\, which will explore what business problems the data warehouse was really trying to solve and how they still might be relevant today. This will be followed by a workshop\, Business-focussed data modelling\, delivered by Hannah Francis\, Executive Data and Analytics Consultant at Waterstons\, which will introduce participants to the benefits of conceptual and high-level data modelling for their data activities. (If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how the same data on an organisation can be wildly different in two different places\, then this is the workshop for you!) \nAdditional speakers and sessions\, including one led by the National Innovation Centre for Data\, will be announced closer to the time. Coffee and other refreshments will also be available on arrival and after the sessions have wrapped up. \n  \nWho are Waterstons? \n\n\n\n\nWaterstons are an IT business with a difference. Although they know technology well\, they’re not all about technology – they’re business-focussed and consultancy-led in everything they do. \nWaterstons’ specialist consultants work with businesses of all sizes across the North East\, the wider UK\, and beyond\, helping them to improve business performance and deliver competitive advantage. \nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nThe full agenda for this event will be confirmed soon\, and will look something like this: \nRegistration opens + refreshments \nWelcome + Intro | National Innovation Centre for Data \nKeynote Talk: Is the data warehouse dead? | James Bell\, Head of Data and Analytics at Waterstons \nWorkshop: Business-focussed data modelling | Hannah Francis\, Executive Data and Analytics Consultant at Waterstons \nSession TBC | National Innovation Centre for Data \nWrap-up | National Innovation Centre for Data \nRefreshments + networking
