Global Digital Development Forum 2023

The Global Digital Development Forum (GDDF) convenes collaborators from around the world working to achieve development goals through the creative use of technology. Now in its third year, this year’s forum will center on three focus areas: climate change, locally led development, and emerging technologies. GDDF 2023 will be a highly participatory event allowing attendees from across the digital development landscape the opportunity to share knowledge, explore industry-critical questions, and envision paths forward. The event will feature keynote presentations, breakout sessions, lightning talks, interactive learning workshops, and demonstrations of new, ready-to-use digital tools. 

RTI is excited to sponsor GDDF 2023 to showcase how innovative technology solutions are used to create and scale impact across our various bodies of work.
