About this conference
The Life After Data conference addresses the impending conclusion of the digital era and seeks collaborative solutions for a future beyond pervasive datafication. Hosted at Georgetown Law Center from October 6-7, 2026, this event provides a forum for provocative discussions on 'de-datafication.' It challenges the notion that a datafied world is inevitable, inviting exploration into how societies can transition away from digital data as the primary currency for social, economic, and political systems. The conference encourages creative and rigorous contributions, including case studies, philosophical reflections, technical proposals, economic analyses, and legal strategies, focusing on limiting data creation, building alternative digital infrastructures, and learning from non-datafied communities.
