Breakfast Briefing

Wednesday, September 23, 2026
8:00am – 10:00am ET  

Harvard Club of New York City
35 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036 

About the Event:

Funders, practitioners, and policy-shapers working at the intersection of data, AI, and social impact don’t always get the room to speak candidly about impact. Grounded in more than five years of program delivery at data.org, this breakfast briefing creates that space to surface where today’s funders are seeking to invest in data and AI, what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next. 

On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, data.org will host its annual invitation-only breakfast convening at the Harvard Club of New York City, from 8:00am to 10:00 am ET. Attendees will hear from leaders across philanthropy and AI for mission landscape, new connections, and concrete takeaways to maximize insight and impact.
