The Festival de Datos will be the second in-person festival hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, with 400 delegates expected in person and 200 participating remotely. It comes at a critical juncture for our community. As we face global economic, climate, energy and health challenges, this convening is an exciting chance to exchange ideas and drive action with change makers and innovators from our network of 650 partner organizations across 40 countries around the world. Building on the 2018 Data for Development festival in Bristol, the event will connect people and communities in the data space, serving as a platform for announcing new, impactful collaborations to unlock investment and drive innovation.
Taking place in scenic Punte del Este in Uruguay, 7-9 November, the festival provides an unmissable opportunity for delegations from the region and beyond, with more than a quarter of our partners based or working in Latin America and the Caribbean. Delegates will participate in thematic events, network with the global data community, and meet the Global Partnership’s Board and Technical Advisory Group. The event will shape the trajectory of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Partnership's future, as well as bolstering the reputation of Uruguay and delegations among the international data community ahead of the next World Data Forum in Colombia in 2024.
