Where and when?
The ODI Summit 2022 will be delivered virtually via Hopin on 8 November 2022 from 10:00 - 22:00 GMT
Why virtually? Well, we’re pretty good at it! The ODI Summit isn’t a run of the mill conference. We have TV studio quality filming, top flight production, and being virtual means it’s not only more accessible – but we can fit more in: more speakers, more events, more opportunities to network. And if we can fit more in, you can too.

Welcome fund
The ODI welcome fund can help break down barriers.
We appreciate that there can be obstacles to people attending events like the ODI Summit - from the cost of tickets to the accessibility of the platforms we use. We also recognise that people from some communities face greater barriers to participation such as structural racism, sexism and ableism.
If you cannot afford the price of a ticket, face structural disadvantages and/or live in a low- or middle-income country, we would love to welcome you as our guest to the ODI Summit 2022. Please apply for a complimentary ticket below.
If you are unemployed or are in full time education, please feel free to apply.
If you are from an organisation that works with or represents any of the groups mentioned above and would like to share details about the ODI’s Welcome Fund, please contact [email protected].
We hope that offering complimentary tickets demonstrates that everyone is welcome at the ODI Summit and makes a small contribution to greater equity.

Scam emails
Have you received a scam email about buying event data?
The ODI does not and will never sell personal information to third parties.
It has come to our attention that email scammers have been using fake list broker emails as bait to lure unsuspecting businesses into purchasing fake mailing lists. If you find yourself a recipient of a message offering an ODI mailing list for sale, this message is fake.
Please do not engage with it and pass any such message on to Action Fraud – the National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre. Your report of a phishing email will help them act quickly, protecting many more people from also being affected.
