A co-operation between the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Institute for Information Design (IIID).

DD4D is a conference for intermediaries between data, knowledge and empowerment. It will investigate selection, visualisation, interpretation and communication of data, and how it can be effectively used to: - help understand complex issues, - make data relevant at a personal level, - close the gap between objective measurement and perception, and - take decisions based on evidence.

Speakers come from such diverse disciplines as information design, visualisation, social sciences, cognitive science, earth sciences, the media, NGOs, development planning, economics and statistics.

Participants should expect to leave with insights into their own subject area, a look beyond the usual boundaries of discipline, and new unexpected alliances.
