DAT is a highly anticipated whole-of-government visual analytics competition organised by GovTech annually. For the third year running, the tournament has seen strong participation from over 1,000 public officers since it's inception in 2018. Organised with support from SNDGO and in partnership with the top industry players in visual analytics - Qlik and Tableau, DAT is ready to scout for its next generation of Data Heroes.
