In recent years, governments, industries, businesses, and research institutions across the world have been actively exploring effective ways to maximize the value of data elements. Innovation in data technology is flourishing, and data space, high-speed data networks, privacy computing, blockchain, and other data-related technologies, as well as the innovation and application of data infrastructure based on these technologies, have become crucial. Against this backdrop, the first "Global Data Technology Conference (GDTC)" will be held in Beijing from October 29 to 30, 2024. This conference is organized by the Next Generation Internet Engineering Center and is jointly supported by authoritative associations at home and abroad, including the International Data Space Association (IDSA), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Global IPv6 Forum. Top experts and scholars in the field of data from around the world, industry elites, and business representatives will gather to share and discuss cutting-edge and popular data technologies. The aim is to promote innovation and application of data technology, build a globally interconnected data infrastructure, enhance international cooperation and industrial collaboration in the field of data technology, and provide strong support for the rapid development of the data element industry.

Focus on key data technologies and gain insights into industry hotspots and trends.

Advanced data technologies can achieve data collection and aggregation, circulation and trading, computing and storage, development and utilization, and security governance. Building and operating data infrastructure can realize flexible connection and efficient circulation of data, promote the valueization of data elements, and help the healthy development of the digital economy and the comprehensive digital transformation of society. The "2024 GDTC Global Data Technology Conference" is themed around building an interconnected data infrastructure. It focuses on data infrastructure construction and cutting-edge and hot areas of data technology. The forum topics cover a wide range, including data infrastructure, data space, high-speed data networks, privacy computing, blockchain, and so on. From technological innovation to application cases, from academic discussions to industrial practices, this conference will showcase the hot trends and latest developments of data technology from different dimensions.

Top-notch guest lineup to discuss data infrastructure.

This conference has gathered the top experts in the field of data, with industry giants sharing the latest and hottest technological issues. Experts from many countries around the world will attend the conference, including Reinhold Achatz, President of the International Data Space Association (IDSA), Latif Ladid, President of the Global IPv6 Forum, Boris Otto, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering in Germany, Thorsten Hülsmann, Secretary-General of the International Data Space Association, Markus Spiekermann, Head of the Eclipse Foundation's EDC open-source project, and many expert representatives from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Representatives from international companies such as Deutsche Telekom and Amazon will also be in attendance.
