2026 DPGA Annual Members Meeting
Nov 17–19, 2026
Paris, France
Each year, the DPGA Annual Members Meeting (AMM) brings together the full DPGA membership with the aspiration to strengthen our collective ability to discover, develop, use, and invest in digital public goods. At a time when the digital divide is widening, this year will focus on creating a meaningful space for important conversations that lead to new collaborations and actionable strategies to increase openness and strategic cooperation. We hope 2026 will build on the success of previous years while introducing new concepts and opportunities to continually increase the value of the event for DPGA members.
The DPGA Secretariat and our event co-host, the Government of France, are excited to welcome all DPGA members to Paris, the country's capital, for three energising days of learning, exchange, and collaboration. We look forward to coming together as a global community to champion and advance digital public goods.
