Join the Data Foundation as we unveil our 2026 policy agenda and strategic vision. President & CEO Nick Hart will be joined by Data Foundation Board Members to examine how we're addressing America's most urgent data infrastructure challenges—from AI competitiveness to fiscal efficiency to statistical independence.
At a moment when federal data infrastructure faces unprecedented pressure, we're charting a clear path forward with seven integrated policy priorities and three transformative goals. This isn't incremental improvement—it's a comprehensive agenda for making government data sustainable, building permanent evidence infrastructure, and enabling public accountability through transparency.
What We'll Announce:
We'll also demonstrate how our new efforts—including the Evidence Act Hub (now live at evidenceact.org) and the People's Data 100 initiative (accepting nominations through January 31)—make these priorities actionable and deliver immediate value to practitioners, researchers, and policymakers.
