Conference
SocialInsta_1200x1200_V5

For the first time, the cultural and creative industries are being addressed as an industrial ecosystem. The issue of skills gaps and needs is a critical concern for stakeholders from all corners of the Cultural and Creative Industries Sectors (CCIS). In this context and as a partner of CYANOTYPES, we are proud to launch the first ever CREATIVE SKILLS WEEK gathering strategic-thinkers, policymakers, cultural workers and networks, creative and artistic practitioners together to co-create plans addressing urgent and future skills needs.

Join us at Creative Skills Week 2023 from 10 – 13 October 2023 in Vienna (in person and online). This event is kindly hosted by the University of Applied Art Vienna.

The future belongs to companies that provide human-centric solutions to privacy and control of data

The human-centric approach to data is aimed at a fair, sustainable, and prosperous digital society. In such a society, people get value from their data and set the agenda on how it is used. And for organisations, the ethical use of data is always the most attractive option.

Who we are

MyData Global is an award-winning, international non-profit. We have over 100 organisation members and close to 400 individual members from over 40 countries on six continents. We help organisations build human-centric solutions and services, and we collaborate with local, national, and international stakeholders to advance ethical use of personal data. We facilitate the MyData community of thousands of experts who meet regularly at our flagship event, the international MyData Conference, which has taken place annually since 2016.

More about us

Our mission
