we’ll explore the current landscape of data organization, legal considerations, and the real-world impacts on communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The data landscape is constantly evolving. As more and more data-intensive technologies such as AI appear on the horizon, state agencies have to develop consistent data governance for managing data equitably
throughout its lifecycle while simultaneously ensuring that these practices can evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing data landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In this session, we will hear from speakers from 4 different agencies(OHA, ODOT, OED, DELC) as they focus on 4 different aspects of data governance (Data Governance Council, Data Inventory, Data Literacy,
Data Infrastructure) to build the foundations of equity and evolution into their practices, leaving plenty of time for Q&A and discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
