[FOLTZ Melissa * DAS]

The 2025 Data Equity Summit registration and agenda<https://www.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_gS3wKa0JQnGPIrETFMIO_Q#/registration> are now available.  Although, the summit does not focus on geospatial data, there are sessions focused on data sharing and data governance that may be of interest to data stewards.

----------

Understanding the Data Sharing Landscape
This session aims to build collective understanding and solidarity around the evolving challenges of data sharing across State agencies and their partners in Oregon. With a focus on elevating diverse perspectives, we'll explore the current landscape of data organization, legal considerations, and the real-world impacts on communities.
Through a moderated panel discussion, we'll dive into key questions:

  *   What are the current challenges State agencies face in data sharing?
  *   What best practices and strategies are emerging to navigate these complexities?
Participants will gain insights into the realities shaping data work today, hear directly from leaders in the field, and have the opportunity to engage through a moderated Q&A.



Session: Developing Data Governance Practices for Equity and Evolution
The data landscape is constantly evolving. As more and more data-intensive technologies such as AI appear on the horizon, state agencies have to develop consistent data governance for managing data equitably throughout its lifecycle while simultaneously ensuring that these practices can evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing data landscape.
In this session, we will hear from speakers from 4 different agencies(OHA, ODOT, OED, DELC) as they focus on 4 different aspects of data governance (Data Governance Council, Data Inventory, Data Literacy, Data Infrastructure) to build the foundations of equity and evolution into their practices, leaving plenty of time for Q&A and discussion.

This year's Summit theme is "Building Capacity in a Changing Landscape." Our keynote speaker is Dr. Luhui Whitebear PhD, Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies at Oregon State University.
