The Future of Open Data - join us!

[Lucas Pretti]

Dear Open Data Day community,

I hope you are well.

On March 11, 2026, the Open Knowledge Foundation is hosting an online conference as part of Open Data Day 2026, The Future of Open Data. There will be two panels with experts discussing the role of open data and data infrastructures today, vis-à-vis the current technical and political landscape, especially the challenges imposed by AI.

We want to invite all of you to join the open data and CKAN communities (which is celebrating its 20th anniversary) for in-depth discussions and project demonstrations.

Here are the event details:

🗓️ Wednesday, March 11
🕙 10:00 - 15:00 UTC
✍️ Register now at https://okfn.org/thefutureofopendata

You can participate too! We are accepting submissions of projects in the form of lightning talks or demos exploring the intersection of open data and AI. Two out of four slots are reserved for community projects.

📣 Open call: submit your proposal at https://blog.okfn.org/the-future-of-open-data-open-call-for-lightning-talks-demos/

Please help spread the word!

And keep adding your events to the ODD map! https://opendataday.org/

All the best,
