What’s New at HDAA
New Website
On October, 1st 2026 HDAA launched TheHDAA.org, a re-engineered site giving the chairs the ability to edit this own content, and delivering an exciting new experience to members. This will operate in parallel with www.hda2.org during the transition over the coming months.
Snowflake & Fabric SIGs
We now have an active Snowflake SIG — check events for the member survey. A Fabric SIG is also being formed, with more details coming soon.
Career SIG
A forum with webinars to discuss your career journey. Potential topics include:
Getting Started: New graduates or clinical staff, how do you get your foot in the door of this exciting industry.
Between jobs: What happens when you end up between jobs either by choice or otherwise. How to stay connected. What is working for you or not.
AI Replacement: The toughest topic. How to avoid it. How to turn it to a positive.
Retirement: We spend a career in analysis, but it does not prepare you for the complexities of retirement. Understanding the emotional impact in addition to potential lifestyles.
