The Fireside Chat Series brings together our diverse, global network of academics, policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to foster meaningful connections and explore pressing topics in data and public policy. These informal yet impactful discussions offer a unique space to engage with experts and peers on critical issues, such as AI ethics, data governance, smart cities, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping a better future.

Designed to strengthen the bonds within our community, each fireside chat features insights from thought leaders and encourages open dialogue, allowing participants to share experiences, learn from each other, and collectively address the challenges and opportunities of our data-driven world.

Our Fireside Chat Series welcomes all members of the Data for Policy community who wish to engage in global conversations, gain new perspectives, and contribute to advancing responsible tech policy.
