World Ethical Data Foundation (WEDF)
The World Ethical Data Foundation (WEDF) is a fully independent, global nonprofit working at the frontiers of rights-advancing innovation and tech deployment, Web2 x Web3 information- and cybersecurity, human-rights protection, and public engagement.
The World Ethical Data Forum is an event and meeting ground for people who build, study, govern and live in digital systems. Its event, held over three to five days approximately every 18 months, convenes communities, researchers, engineers, journalists, advocates and public officials both online and offline to examine how data, AI and networked infrastructure affect rights, safety, security, and power. The Forum is always paywall-free, fully accessible, and its event and community infrastructure is open source and privacy-respecting.
The next Forum will be in Q1 2026. All online, all free, all open, and available worldwide.
To join the Matrix community and register for the events visit www.worldethicaldataforum.org
