TAG's Data Science & AI Society Presents: "Start to Finish Data Science & AI: Final Presentations from TAG Data Challenge 2026"
Join us for an exclusive inside look at complete data science & AI projects!
Finalist teams from TAG Data Challenge 2026, a part of the Technology Association of Georgia’s Tech for Good initiative, will showcase their results, insights, and solutions aimed at improving quality of life, independence, and inclusion for the deaf and hard of hearing communities.
After months of collaboration with nonprofit partner Georgia Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, each team will present their findings, analytical approaches, and AI-driven solutions. A panel of judges, including experts from academia, senior industry practitioners, and the nonprofit sector, will evaluate the projects. Announcement of the winning teams is scheduled near the end of the event, and audience members are asked to assess projects if they’d like to provide feedback.
This event promises an exciting day of exploring innovative data science & AI projects, supporting a local nonprofit, and connecting with fellow professionals in the data community.
