About this event
Data In Power is built for people who know data matters and want better conversations around it. If you care about how data shapes decisions, communities, and opportunities, this event gives you a place to connect with others who are thinking seriously about the same questions. This is not just a passive sit-and-listen session. It is designed as a community-driven meetup where ideas, practical experience, and new relationships can move forward in the same room. About the Event Data In Power is a tech-focused community event centered on the role of data in real-world work, collaboration, and impact. The title suggests a direct focus on how data creates influence, supports better decision-making, and opens up new possibilities for people working across technical and adjacent fields. Although the event title includes “Virtual Event,” the listed format is in person, which means attendees should plan for an on-site experience at the scheduled time. That matters because the value of a meetup like this is not only in the ideas discussed, but also in the conversations that happen before, during, and after the main program. Because this is tagged as tech, community, networking, meetup, and social, you can expect the event to balance substance with accessibility. The atmosphere should feel welcoming to people who want thoughtful discussion without the stiffness of a formal conference. This is the kind of gathering where you can show up with questions, opinions, curiosity, or experience to share. Whether you work with data every day or are trying to understand how it connects to your role, the event creates space for both learning and exchange. What to Expect Expect a meetup-style flow rather than a rigid, overly produced program. The event will likely be structured to help people get oriented quickly, engage with a core topic or set of ideas, and spend meaningful time meeting others in the room. A community event like this often works best when it combines a few distinct elements: Opening context to frame the theme of data and power Shared discussion or featured segments focused on ideas, challenges, or practical examples Networking time for one-on-one and small-group conversations Social interaction that makes it easier to build real connections, not just exchange names You should come ready to participate. That does not mean you need to be an expert or prepare a formal introduction, but it does mean you will get more out of the evening if you are ready to talk about what you do, what you are interested in, and what questions you are currently exploring. Given the meetup and networking focus, the experience will likely be strongest for attendees who want interaction rather than anonymity. If you have been looking for a way to meet people across tech and data in a more grounded setting, this event is set up to support exactly that. Why Attend The most immediate reason to attend is connection. In data and tech, it is easy to spend most of your time inside tools, dashboards, meetings, or isolated online spaces. An in-person event creates a different kind of energy: faster trust, more candid conversations, and a clearer sense of who is working on what. You should also attend if you want to sharpen how you think about data beyond the technical layer. Data is never only about collection and analysis; it also affects decision-making, influence, access, and outcomes. Events like this are valuable because they widen the conversation and help you see the bigger picture. Attendees can expect value in a few practical ways: New professional relationships with people in tech, data, and adjacent communities Fresh perspectives on how data connects to power, responsibility, and opportunity Useful conversations that can lead to future collaboration, referrals, or ideas A stronger sense of community around shared interests in technology and impact If you have been wanting to meet people who care about data in a more thoughtful and socially connected way, this is a strong use of an evening. The format is approachable, the topic is timely, and the networking potential is real. Practical Details When: Tuesday, March 25 at 8:00 PM EDT Format: In person Event type: Tech meetup, community gathering, networking, and social event Because the event starts in the evening, it is well suited for attendees joining after the workday. Plan to arrive a little early if possible so you have time to settle in, introduce yourself, and make the most of the networking before the room gets fully engaged. Since this is an in-person event, the biggest preparation is simple: come ready to be present. A concise introduction about who you are, what you do, and what drew you to the topic will go a long way. If there is a specific challenge, interest area, or project related to data that you have been thinking about, bring that into conversations. This event is a good fit for people who want more than surface-level networking. If you value a room where tech, community, and conversation intersect, Data In Power offers a timely reason to show up and be part of it.
