Last week I had the pleasure of hosting the second annual Data Journalism UK conference in Birmingham.

The event featured speakers from the regional press, hyperlocal publishers, web startups, nonprofits, and national broadcasters in the UK and Ireland, with talks covering investigative journalism, automated factchecking, robot journalism, the Internet of Things, and networked, collaborative data journalism. You can read a report on the conference at Journalism.co.uk.

You can find all the presentations at the conference Slideshare account with the tag ‘DJUK17’, from Megan Lucero‘s keynote on the first 9 months of the Bureau Local project (embedded below), to talks on new regional investigations teams at Johnston Press and Archant; Urbs Media on automated reporting, Full Fact on factchecking, and hands-on sessions covering R and company data.
