Program Overview
A three-day working convening designed for decision-making, prioritisation, and action.
The Agile Data & Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Summit is structured as a three-day journey — from grounding, to prioritisation, to action. Rather than a traditional conference, the programme is designed to help leaders navigate accelerating digital change, regulatory pressure, and real-world constraints, and to leave with clarity on what comes next.
The Summit brings together policymakers, funders, system builders, innovators, researchers, and practitioners, together with farmers themselves, to shape how data and Digital Public Infrastructure are designed, governed, and used across agricultural systems. Farmer experience anchors the discussion in real-world use, helping ensure that emerging systems are not only scalable and interoperable, but usable and relevant at the farm level.
Day 1: The Stakes & the Progress
What happens when the data shaping agricultural policy never reaches the farmer – or works against them?
Day 1 grounds the Summit in why this moment matters. Participants align on the key decisions now facing governments, funders, and system builders as digital infrastructure, AI, and regulatory demands accelerate.
Day 1 focuses on:
- Aligning on the “why now” for connecting Agile Data and Digital Public Infrastructure
- Hearing directly from farmers and communities as a system test for what scales
- Learning from real-world experience across different contexts
Why Attend Day 1?
Because meaningful action starts with clarity.
No panels for the sake of panels.
This day frames the choices that shape what comes next.
Day 2: Leverage Points to Accelerate Success
Finding Where Change Can Happen Fast – Without Breaking What Matters
Where can focused action unlock disproportionate impact?
Day 2 shifts from understanding to ideation. With limited time, attention, and resources, participants surface what is holding progress back and identify where targeted action can deliver outsized results.
Day 2 focuses on:
- Clarifying foundational principles – trust, governance, interoperability, and infrastructure – that enable responsible speed
- Open, candid discussion of friction points across systems
- Identifying leverage points where progress can move faster with trust intact
- Exploring frontier ideas, assessed critically
- Translating insight into decision-ready options through structured ideation
Why Attend Day 2?
Because speed without direction creates risk.
No talk without traction.
This day is about momentum with judgement.
Day 3: From Ideation to Roadmap
Turning Insight into Commitments That Travel Beyond the Room
What are we prepared to carry forward?
Day 3 is about acting with intent. Building on earlier discussions, participants narrow ambition into concrete priorities, early roadmaps, and shared commitments.
Day 3 focuses on:
- Prioritising high-impact actions over broad wish lists
- Developing first-cut prototypes and roadmaps
- Making visible commitments and agreeing how progress will be tracked beyond the Summit
Why Attend Day 3?
Because ideas only matter if someone owns them.
No ideas left on the wall.
This is about delivery – and what happens next.
Speakers will be announced shortly.
