2026 Data Foundation Summit

The Data Foundation's 2026 Data Summit in Washington, D.C. is a full-day event bringing together experts to examine how government data serves as essential public infrastructure. The morning symposium explores how data supports AI, public health, and fraud prevention, and what it takes to keep that infrastructure accessible and effective as needs evolve. The afternoon RegTech Data Summit focuses on a pressing challenge: climate and environmental data is often incomplete, inconsistent, or incompatible — creating real risk for communities, investors, insurers, and industries. Sessions will highlight emerging solutions, from international sustainability standards to integrated wildfire data systems, and examine how better data can improve climate risk management and investment decisions.
