Data for Peace 2026 (15-17 June) is a three-day conference connecting researchers, peacebuilders, policymakers, data providers, humanitarian actors, and peace technologists to strengthen how data and technology supports violence prevention, anticipatory action, and crisis response.
Peace in Our Cities will be organizing a virtual panel during the conference to explore how cities are leveraging the most recent advancements in data and tech to improve their violence prevention strategies and action.
