This webinar series will explore how communities can lead, govern, and protect their data in a changing digital world.
These sessions are guided by experts in their field and are designed as conversation starters. Each session includes a short presentation followed by facilitated discussion and breakout conversations.
This series is not about having all the answers yet. This series is about recognising that communities have valuable insights, experiences, and aspirations that should help shape how community organisations govern data and artificial intelligence.
