DHIS2 Symposium

The DHIS2 Symposium, co-organized this year by BAO Systems and the HISP Centre at the University of Oslo, convenes leaders from global development agencies, governments, and NGOs who are shaping the future of data-driven transformation. This year’s focus expands beyond health—showcasing how DHIS2 powers solutions in areas like climate resilience, education systems, and sustainable development. Participants will explore how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and data integration are redefining what’s possible across sectors. As part of the global conversation on Digital Public Infrastructure, the Symposium provides a dynamic space to connect with innovators and policymakers who are using DHIS2 to build smarter, more connected, and more equitable societies.
