Thursday June 11, 2026 1:30pm - 2:45pm EDT
Data collection is not just a technical process. It is a relationship-building process.
In this 75-minute session, participants will learn how to design surveys and other data collection tools that are human-centric, ethical, inclusive, and useful. The session will explore how organizations can collect data in ways that reduce harm, build trust, support better decisions, and honor the people behind the responses.
Participants will leave with a practical understanding of what ethical data collection looks like in day-to-day work, including how to ask better questions, avoid extractive practices, communicate clearly with participants, and use data responsibly after it is collected.
