The ODEX conference, initiated by CDLX, was designed to challenge the unchecked acceleration of technology that often sidelines broader societal concerns. This project was developed to spark informed discussions among a diverse audience about the ethical implications of technology, particularly concerning data privacy and algorithmic bias.
Our goal was to engage participants who were professionals in technology, data science, and social activism, intrigued by the complex relationship between technology and society. We named our first event "The Social Meaning of Your Data," targeting those concerned with how personal information shapes and influences the digital and real worlds.
