The CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture is where information becomes power: power to predict, prescribe, and produce more food, more sustainably. It democratizes decades of agricultural data empowering analysts, statisticians, programmers and more to mine information for trends and quirks, and develop rapid, accurate and compelling recommendations for farmers, researchers and policymakers.

This convention is the third annual event to bring together the people and organizations that make the BIG DATA Platform successful. Three days of focused, action-based discussion to find commonalities across research institutes, governments, and private organizations sets the stage for a productive and data-driven year ahead!

We look forward to you joining us for a lively week on this year's theme: "Trust: Humans, Machines, Ecosystems." See more information on the theme at the website page.

CGIAR MEMBERS: Each center has a limited number of fee waivers available. If you work for a CGIAR center, reach out to your center's BIG DATA Platform focal point (see here if you're not sure who that is).

We are committed to making the event accessible and will have limited ticket fee waivers available. To request a waiver to attend, please fill out this form.
