Over the last ten years, BARI’s annual conference has become a unique forum for sharing how greater Boston’s civic data community is advancing a more equitable, just, and democratic society–and setting an agenda for what we need to do now. In 2021 this mission is more critical than ever. As we build back from a crippling pandemic and grapple with revelations of racial injustice and inequities, BARI want to highlight efforts where data and technology are catalyzing our recovery as we look toward the future. Associate Professor Daniel T. O’Brien will be moderating the panel, ‘BARI’s 10th Anniversary: Looking Back and Forward.’
