From 21–23 March 2018, the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (Global Partnership) held the first Data for Development Festival in Bristol, UK. This gathering of more than 400 delegates attended the event, with equal sectoral representation from governments, civil society, NGOs, and the private sector. Nearly 1,500 people contributed to the conversation online using #Data4DevFest, helping us reach more than six million people across six continents.
This event for the partners and friends of the Global Partnership focused on driving action and fostering strong links to lead to improved outcomes as the Global Partnership community looks ahead, in the short term to the 73rd UN General Assembly in September and the World Data Forum in October, and in the longer term to 2030. This event provided an opportunity to participate in numerous thematic events, network with the global data community, meet representatives of the Global Partnership’s new Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Group, and shape the partnership's future.
