data.org @ UNGA 81 Breakfast Briefing

September 23, 2026 8am


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.
