This is precisely the dilemma that our agenda will explore at FDDF, a first of its kind, 2-day hybrid conference Nov 1 & 2.

Through a mix of interactive workshops, live debates, educational games, dynamic networking, tech demos and even COMEDY, you’ll get to explore topics such as:

✅ How Ukraine is Winning the War on Information Systems
✅ Where's Waldo, and Do They Want to be Found? Ethical Considerations for Earth Observation Data
✅ Feminist and Critical Perspectives of AI from the Global South
✅ Weighing the Risks and Rewards of Partnering with Tech Firms (USAID)
✅ The Crypto Verse Philanthropy: Nation States, Foundations, and Billionaires
✅ Indigenous Storytelling in the Metaverse

And as a hybrid conference, you can choose to attend in person (at the stunning Capital Turnaround venue in the heart of DC) or, whether you’re more at home… well, at home, connect to the conference virtually through the purpose-built TechChange platform.

Either way, these are conversations and topics that we cannot afford NOT to have if we want to bring the very best of emerging tech into international development.

Tickets are $195 for the in-person (and we are running out, so reserve yours today) and just $45 for the virtual conference.
