The secretariat and host country of the UN World Data Forum are inviting the global data and statistics community to submit a exhibit proposal for inclusion in the exhibit space of the next Forum to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 9 and 12 November 2026. We are seeking exhibits aligned to the four themes of the Forum:
- Innovation for better and more inclusive data
- Maximizing the use and value of data for better decision making
- Building trust, protection and ethics in data
- Effective partnerships for better data and a more equitable data ecosystem
Fully completed responses in this submission form will be evaluated for exhibits showing relevant and impactful content; demonstrating innovation; based on concrete and practical experience. See
exhibits brief for more information what happens following submission of this form.
If you have any questions about this submission form, please contact the UNWDF secretariat at dataforum@un.org. All questions in this form are marked mandatory to ensure the most complete picture of your proposal is available for review. You can choose to stop at any point, but your progress will not be saved or submitted. If you decide to return to the submission form later, you will need to start all over again. The questionnaire has five questions and will take around 5-10 minutes to complete if you have all required information available on the exhibit.

Thursday, 30 July 2026 (noon, Eastern Time/New York).
