About the Programme

MyData 2017 programme is divided into 12 thematic tracks and the main stage sessions. The Day-By-Day Schedule below shows that most tracks have sessions in Helsinki and Tallinn, with the Tallinn sessions applying a more hands-on workshop approach. The ferry trip from Tallinn to Helsinki will be devoted to a more relaxed networking, yet content-creating, un-conferencing session.

Three full-day academic workshops are organised during the first conference August 30th in Tallinn. Each academic workshop has a distinct focus: Our data futures and Legal and technical approaches to MyData.

The conference programme is curated by a team of 35 international experts and final programme is expected to have more than 100 presenters (last year we had 130 speakers) from a variety of areas ranging from business leaders, legal professionals, technology developers, digital rights advocates and other data thinkers and doers. See the speakers and programme team members -page for updates.
