About the Event
Due to exceptional interest, the 2026 ARDC Indigenous Data Governance Masterclass is now fully booked, and we can no longer process new registrations or ticket inquiries. We have opened registrations for 2 key livestreamed sessions. These unique sessions provide an overview and essential framing for the in-person workshops and talks that follow each day. We recommend registering for both, and we will send links to access the livestream environment closer to the event.
The in-person workshops will not be livestreamed or recorded, but future opportunities to participate in Indigenous Data Governance workshops will be provided.
