The Global Indigenous Data Sovereignty Conference marks ten years since the first Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) event, hosted by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. At that event, attendees discussed the implications of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) for data.
The GIDSov Conference 2025 will bring together Indigenous Peoples from across the globe to reflect on the advances in IDSov and Indigenous Data Governance (IDGov) and map future pathways and aspirations for the next decade. The Conference will explore ways to move beyond principles and into practice.
This internationally significant event will feature keynote speeches, presentations, workshops, and collaborative sessions, culminating with a Communique on the Conference resolutions.
