DQ FrameworkDQ Day raises global awareness on the need for digital competencies to keep up with rapidly advancing digital technologies. It is a day for local communities, businesses and nations to increase their digital knowledge and pledge to join a worldwide effort to advance universal digital intelligence.

The DQ Institute, IEEE Standards Association and World Economic Forum are pleased to host a day of informative, interactive and inspiring sessions on digital intelligence (DQ). The spotlight is on current and future action to advance the DQ agenda beyond technical skills – like coding – to areas such as accessing technology, addressing digital identity, digital safety, digital emotional intelligence and well-being.

At DQ Day we will explore various aspects of the DQ Framework – a comprehensive set of digital competencies rooted in universal moral values for individuals to use, control, and create technology to benefit humanity – developed by the DQ Institute. There will also be information on new activities and partnerships and new tools to get people involved so they can make a difference.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
