Camden Talks Data is a series of events and videos which explain how we are using data. The series is part of an ongoing commitment to our Data Charter.
Each event will highlight a particular council project that has been enabled by data techniques.
On the panel for each event will be:
- a representative from a council service to describe the project’s intended benefits
- data professionals to explain how data techniques have helped deliver those benefits
After the talk, attendees will work in groups to decide on questions to ask the panel.

Sidings Community Centre
150 Brassey Road, NW6 2BA (view directions)
6 to 7.30pm
At this event, we will explain how we use location-based data to create a picture using maps.
Maps are created by a set of tools called Geographic Information Systems, or GIS. Our GIS team will use case studies to show how we gain better insights using maps and provide better information to our residents.
