Thank You for Making International Data Week 2025 Unforgettable!
On behalf of the International Organising Committee, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in International Data Week (IDW) 2025, held from 13–16 October at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia. We deeply appreciate your participation, curiosity and generosity in collaboration throughout the week. As the curtain closes on Brisbane, the spotlight now shifts to Africa, where the next International Data Week will take place on 20–23 September 2027. This next chapter will continue to build on the legacy of IDW 2025 – connecting data communities, driving innovation and inspiring collaboration across continents. We look forward to seeing you there.
