Capacity Building at SDMX Global Conference 2025

As with past editions, the SDMX Global Conference 2025 will feature an exciting capacity building programme, building on the success of previous events such as the SDMX Global Conference 2023. The capacity building programme will take place over two days, 2 and 3 October, following the three days of plenary sessions.

Two dedicated rooms

For 2025, capacity building will be organised across two rooms:

  • Room 1 will target Statistician type profiles, including Statistical Assistants, Data Managers, Statistical Managers, Data Analysts, and Methodologists.
  • Room 2 will target Data Engineer profiles, such as Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Data Platform Managers, Data Architects, IT Managers, and Software Developers.

Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration is strongly encouraged. Due to room size limitations, switching rooms during the 2-day programme will unfortunately not be possible.

Networking

There’ll be ample opportunity to network and discuss learnings during breaks.

Registration process

Conference registrants who expressed interest in the capacity building programme will be contacted closer to the event date to indicate which room they wish to attend.

Get prepared!

To get the most out of the capacity building sessions, especially for Room 1 participants, we strongly encourage completing some of the free online SDMX training courses on offer and get certified in advance. Some recommended courses that provide an excellent introduction to SDMX standards and concepts include:

Please note that the capacity building programme will be conducted in-person only, with no option for remote participation.

Further details on the capacity building programme will be posted here and shared with registered participants as we get closer to the event date.

We look forward to an engaging capacity building experience at SDMX GC 2025!
