data.org is a platform for partnerships committed to building the field of data science for social impact.

The momentum we built that day continues to grow, alongside a global network that shares an unwavering commitment to putting technology to use for good and for all.
But to drive progress at the speed of innovation, our efforts must continue.
So, to steal a line from our conference co-host, Dr. Francesca Dominici from Harvard Data Science Initiative : are you ready to accelerate?
Save the date for the return of the Accelerate Conference, which will take place in June 2026 on the beautiful campus of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia.

Working together, we will convene an extraordinary slate of speakers to discuss the urgent challenges that face the social sector and how data and AI tools are helping to solve these problems in tangible ways across sectors and contexts.
Be on the lookout for a registration link in the coming months, and in the meantime, stay tuned for our Accelerate 2025 report this fall, which will provide an update on the data and AI for impact landscape and key recommendations for how your organization and your community can leverage the field’s most promising solutions.
Let’s keep going.
