Overview
Dates: November 13 - 15, 2022

The inaugural Forum on Data Governance & Ethics will bring key stakeholders together to discuss holistic approaches to data innovation, monetization, and protection.
It is a forum for business and policy leaders to share how data governance is informing, and reforming, investment strategies, technology deployment, public/private partnerships, and risk appetites.
Each session will be moderated by a diverse group of discussion leaders, but the focus will be on knowledge sharing and debate among participants, with ample opportunity over the course of the two-day Forum at Langdon Hall to build connection with peers and experts.
