Summit 2020 – Data | Futures
On 10 November 2020, we invited people from across the globe to discuss how humanity can harness the power of data in a changing world.
Over 1,000 delegates from 72 countries joined us for the ODI Summit 2020: Data | Futures. We heard thought-provoking talks from amazing speakers (including our keynotes John Whittingdale, Elizabeth Denham and Safiya Umoja Noble), participated in vital conversations about shaping an ideal data future, and launched interactive art from our Data as Culture artists.
