USAID and FHI 360 are bringing together entrepreneurs, innovators, development organizations, technology providers, donors, and governments for a two-day Harnessing the Data Revolution for Resilience Summit in Bangkok, Thailand on May 10th and 11th, 2016. This Summit will catalyze a dialogue focused on harnessing the power of digital data to transform the design, implementation, and monitoring of international development programs to support resilience capacities at various scales. It will highlight both existing case studies and promising new approaches that use advances in data and technology to build resilience. Real-time data, open data, big data, citizen-generated data, innovative sensor technology, and other opportunities will be highlighted as tools that governments, development practitioners, and others can harness to maximize the impact of their investments.
The overall objectives of the Summit are to:
- Showcase state of the art approaches and local examples that demonstrate how the data revolution can help inform resilience efforts; and
- Catalyze dialogue and partnerships between development practitioners to providers of data and data related services who are applying innovative approaches to building resilience
The Summit will bring together 90-100 global and regional experts to discuss the latest issues regarding data for resilience in Asia. Join us as we discuss and share what this new reality means for resilience and explore how to take advantage of the multitude of opportunities emerging in this space. Priority registration closes on April 10th, so make sure to register soon if you are interested in attending.
