Data4Good conference


The Data4Good conference encourages businesses to be guided by social conscience to drive positive data solutions, overriding the low trust created through the misuse of data by big tech firms.

The Data4Good Conference, to be held at the Maritime Museum, Auckland, will showcase the innovative ways New Zealand’s leading organisations are using data for positive change and to create a better society.

With the widespread lack of transparency and misuse of data by large tech firms worldwide, trust in data and analytics is at an all-time low. The Data4Good conference will host speakers who will show how data is being used to save lives, offer environmental solutions, and combat global crises.

Hosted by Altis Consulting on 14 November 2019, the Data4Good Conference will feature recognised experts in data and analytics who have instigated positive change through sophisticated and innovative uses of data.

CEO of Altis Consulting, John Hoffman, said “Big data and the ongoing sophistication of data and analytic tools increases the opportunities for organisations to inappropriately use them.”

“When data is misused, it not only creates ethical issues with consumers, but often has wider consequences on our environment and society. The Data4Good Conference will showcase how leading organisations are leveraging data to positively impact the world.”

Experts from New Zealand and Australia from within the health industry, not-for-profit space, Universities, agriculture and more will be sharing insightful strategies and best practices. These include:
