Strategic Data Project Convening 2025

Strategic Data Project Convening 2025

At every Convening we celebrate the power of data, but this year we’re tackling the big question: Now What?

How do we transform technological breakthroughs into lasting impact? How do we innovate responsibly while staying ethical? What emerging trends will shape the future, and how do we stay ahead?

Join us as we move beyond possibilities and into the work that truly drives change.
