Save the Date! 2025 CTData Conference

Save the Date for the annual CTData Conference! Join us for the 2025 CTData Conference, our annual gathering of data professionals and advocates, on December 3 at the Hartford Marriott Downtown.

This year, we are excited to welcome Dr. Ismar Volić, Director of the Institute for Mathematics and Democracy and author of Making Democracy Count: How Mathematics Improves Voting, Electoral Maps, and Representation, as our keynote speaker. Dr. Volić’s work focuses on applying mathematical concepts to strengthen democratic systems through research on redistricting, voting methods, and the quantitative analysis of political processes.

The conference will feature interactive sessions, hands-on workshops, valuable networking opportunities, and panel discussions on data analytics, visualization, and real-world applications.

Stay tuned for updates on registration, additional speakers, and the full program in the coming months!
