CT Data Collaborative

Save the date! 📊 The 2026 CTData Conference is happening this December, bringing together nonprofit leaders, researchers, advocates, public agencies, and community organizations from across Connecticut for a day of learning, collaboration, and conversation around data and equity.

This year’s conference will explore how we can strengthen our state's data ecosystem and build resilient data practices at a time when access to reliable federal data is becoming increasingly uncertain.

We are accepting RFPs now through July 1st. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
