OVER FORTY AND FABULOUS FEBRUARY

WELCOME!

Hi Everyone, how's your month been? Mine has been pretty exciting with a lot of my activities from last year coming to light so I can share them with you all!

It's been a light travel month and I've really enjoyed just spending time in the business, making new content, planning, and also we have been busy with new proposals going out, it is so great to see so many procurement organisations looking to invest in their spend data now, and a good taxonomy!

BREAKING NEWS!!

A little birdie has told me that the Alteryx Inspire early bird pricing has been extended until the 1st March! I have a special code that will get you $150 off the conference pass, which will extend beyond Friday because I like to look after my data friends :)

All you have to do is click right here to book your tickets and find out about the Session Catalog which has just gone LIVE!

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?

First of all, I'm hugely proud to share with you that I was involved in a project with Sane Seven for #PrimeTime, highlighting the natural, authentic beauty of women over 40.

I love the picture, but the video is super inspiring, and I made the cut for the short edit, I'm so so proud of being involved in this. Never let age be a barrier, or be made to feel you should or shouldn't be doing something BECAUSE of your age!!

And it's finally official, I'm a course instructor for O'Reilly ! My new course Cleaning Data in Excel is now live and you can catch it here.

It's been quieter on the events front, but I did make my way up to Manchester for the launch of the Mirai Talent launch of the Let's Talk Data Podcast. I also recorded my very own episode, it was a really good one even if I say so myself, so watch out for that one!

Huge congrats to Emma Crabtree Drew Fivey and the team for a great event, where I also got to talk about The Dangers of Dirty Data!

PODCASTS A PLENTY

I've also been busy chatting away on several other podcasts, including Dalton Ruer , Chris Tabb , Ross Webb, MBA :

I've also hosted some great podcasts for EM360Tech including Meteomatics and Pivotree , you can check all the episodes right here.

WHAT'S COMING UP?

It's not long now until PSI!

This will be our 7th event, and The Classification Guru Ltd team are looking forward to catching up with all of our procurement friends at Procurement Strategies & Innovation this upcoming Tuesday! Join us at stand number 15 to chat all things data classification, supplier, and material master cleaning, but you won't need a number to find us, we'll be the pink sparkly booth!

In April, I'll also be heading to Sweden for CFO Outlook to talk about Between the Spreadsheets: What does it take to master data in the digital transformation age?

I'm looking forward to also hosting some roundtables and can't wait to catch up with Anna Bj?rkerud . You can find out more and book your tickets here.

And I'm very excited to share with you that I'll be doing the Keynote at this year's Auto Care Association 's Autocare Connect in Chicago, "The Dangers of Dirty Data & Beyond" as well as joining forces with Sam Russo, MSIT, ACP, AAP ????? for a session "Top Taxonomy Tips from The Classification Guru and Your Data Crew Chief" - it's going to be EPIC!!
