Accelerate Conference

Tech, AI, and data science are at the center of conversations around evidence-based policy, economic opportunity, and global equity. In board rooms, in legislative chambers, and at kitchen tables, there is a growing understanding of the importance of data and how it can be leveraged to tackle some of society’s most urgent challenges, such as persistent economic disparities, the spread of infectious diseases, and the climate crisis. This presents the field of data for social impact with an important opportunity. We must seize this moment and bring together the world’s most visionary voices to develop community-designed, evidence-informed solutions that will accelerate the strategic growth of our sector.

Accelerate: Data for Social Impact Conference will convene academic institutions, social impact organizations, philanthropy, and industry partners around the globe. This inaugural event will focus on the potential of leveraging data and AI to mitigate and adapt to climate change through an intersectional lens that spans public health, financial inclusion, and data privacy.
