The Office of Institutional Research and Strategic Analysis (IRSA) invites the professional community to Data xUTK, a cross-campus data conference focused on discovery, collaboration, and innovation.

Date: Monday, August 3, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

This day of knowledge-sharing will bring together campus partners to explore how institutional data is used to support academic excellence, decision-making, and assessment across the university.

Through engaging speakers and informative sessions, attendees will:

  • Learn how colleagues are leveraging data in meaningful ways
  • Discover new approaches to analysis and applications
  • Connect with peers to foster collaboration across units

Whether you are new to institutional data or regularly work with it, Data xUTK offers an opportunity to gain insight, share ideas, and be inspired by the work happening across campus.

Note: Registration is closed for this year’s event, but we invite you to stay engaged with our data community by getting involved with the Data Users Group, a monthly gathering of data practitioners from across campus who come together to discuss data challenges, share successes, and showcase innovative solutions, with the goal of fostering a community built on collaboration and discovery.

If you are interested in joining, you can fill out our interest form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Dale TeGantvoort at [email protected].

We hope you will join us for a day of discovery and connection across the UTK community.
