In the lead up to the 2026 SNOMED Expo, I’m hosting a data analytics challenge on [Kaggle](https://go.csiro.au/FwLink/data-golf-sct-forum)!

# [Data Golf 2026](https://go.csiro.au/FwLink/data-golf-sct-forum)

We’ve produced a synthetic dataset (single table) representing a data collection across 6 years. Your goal is to answer 18 questions to test your analytics skills - and see how you compare.

We’ll be using the results to inform our presentation on the different approaches to data analytics with SNOMED CT and challenges faced by data analysts working with longitudinal data.

Please forward the details to any colleagues or collaborators who might be interested - [Link here](https://go.csiro.au/FwLink/data-golf-sct-forum). It’s open to everyone!

There's still two weeks to go for anyone interested who hasn't gotten around to submitting an entry yet.

Closing date has been extended a couple of days until September 30!
