Join us to celebrate exceptional government data champions transforming how we use data to better serve the public!
The Datum Awards is an annual award series hosted by the Data Foundation that celebrates exceptional government data champions who are transforming how we use data and evidence to better serve the public. Since 2019, the Datum Awards have spotlighted federal leaders who are creating and advancing meaningful initiatives that transform data into strategic policies and deliver impactful results. The awards recognize leaders across all three positions established under the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, as well as political leaders and other categories that align with the Data Foundation's mission of making government more effective and transparent through the better use of data.
This year's ceremony will take place on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, following govDATAx 2026 at George Washington University. Join us at Sixty Vines in Foggy Bottom for an evening of celebration, with drinks and light bites provided.
