Introducing our 2027 monthly themes - and how to get involved!

Every month, we explore a different area of data & AI in The Data Lab Community, helping to shape our events, conversations and content throughout the year.

For 2027, we'll be exploring:

🔮 Jan - Future of Skills & Work
⚡️ Feb - Emerging Technology
🏛️ Mar - Public Sector
🌍 Apr - Geospatial Data
🎟️ May - DataFest: Second Nature
⚖️ Jun - Ethics
♻️ Jul - Energy & Net Zero
🏥 Aug - Health
🏦 Sep - Financial Sector
🏫 Oct - Education
📊 Nov - Data Visualisation

And we want our community to help us bring them to life!

You could host or contribute to an event, write a blog or case study, share a project, research or resource, or start a conversation around something you're working on.

With more than 9,000 members, The Data Lab Community is at the heart of Scotland's data & AI ecosystem, bringing together people and organisations from across sectors and industries. Getting involved is a great way to share your work, reach new audiences, find collaborators and make new connections.
